Society for Zinc Biology

14 June 2007

STEFANO SENSI

After the great success of the 2006 Zinc Signals Meeting, we decided that the time was ripe to establish an International Society for Zinc Biology (SZB), and to hold a biannual meeting that could bring together all the scientists working in the many biological fields in which Zn²⁺ is involved.

The SZB (http://www.sfzb.org) was established in February 2007. We list already 100+ distinguished members, and we are definitely looking for the first SZB meeting to be held in Banff (from 10-14 Feb, 2008) to recruit many new researchers, as well as to vote for our SZB Advisory Board.

The meeting is set to offer a public arena for top notch scientific debate and open discussion of latest findings and controversies that are animating the field.

Come and have great fun in Banff. There will be more than what you ZinK!
