Genetic Aspects of Bone Disease: methods
and applications
Wednesday, May 10 2006
Satellite to the 33rd
European Symposium on Calcified Tissues
Prague, Czech Republic, May 10-14, 2006
Organisers: Stuart Ralston (Edinburgh,
UK) and André Uitterlinden (Rotterdam, Netherlands)
The aim of this ECTS training course is to provide
participants who are unfamiliar with the field with an overview of
the general approaches that are used for the genetic dissection of
bone diseases, and to give practical guidance on topics such as statistical
analysis and study design. The workshop will comprise a series of
state of the art lectures, given by experts in the field and intermingled
with practical sessions when specific issues will be covered in small
groups.
Venue
The course will take place at the Prague Congress
Centre,
5 kvetna 65, 140 21 Prague 4, Czech Republic (website: www.kcp.cz).
The Czech capital of Prague stands upon the river Vltava and is
home to a vast array of beautiful buildings and medieval lanes. The
city's main attractions include the
famous Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, historical Old Town and the
amazing Astronomical Clock. Prague also has a reputation for its
excellent restaurants and stylish shops.
