The 14th International Congress of Endocrinology (ICE) will meet in Kyoto on this coming March 26 until March 30, linking to the 83rd meeting of the Japan Endocrine Society (JES). The ICE meeting will start newly from Kyoto, every two years, but not every four years.
The programs of the ICE in Kyoto consist of a number of splendid speakers including a Nobelist Dr. Murad and other eleven persons who are cutting edges in many grounds of science and technology. Moreover, there will be one hundred and sixteen symposia that seem to open new areas of individual fields of Endocrinology.
As you know, the clinical and scientific fields of Endocrinology cover many subspecialized systems including neuroendocrine (hypothalamus and pituitary), thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, heart, bone and sex organs, in addition to metabolic systems including lipid, obesity and glucose. In these years, each of these fields is progressively advanced. Please join and discuss as to these highly developed information to create your own ideas with respect to clinical and scientific fields of Endocrinology.
Looking forward to seeing you in Kyoto, very soon.
