International Symposium "Autoimmune Thyroiditis and Insulitis, Early Detection, and Possibilities for Immune Intervention"

Netherlands Architecture Institute

March 14–16, 2002

Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Low thyroid reserve due to autoimmune thyroiditis is increasingly recognized as a serious health problem. In the field of type 1 diabetes mellitus it has already been a goal for several years to try and attenuate the destructive autoimmune—insulitis—process. Because of recent developments in basic and clinical immunology, the organizers of the meeting found the time appropriate to bring together experts in the fields of thyroid and islet autoimmunity, early detection of endocrine autoimmune diseases, and tolerance induction. We hope for a cross-fertilization during the discussions of above-described topics. There will be ample time for such discussions during oral and poster presentations and plenary sessions.

Lectures (approximately 10–12) are by invitation of the Organizing Committee. Abstracts must be sent to the Organizing Committee; eight abstracts will be selected for oral presentation.
