Meeting of the International Society for Genetic Eye Diseases & Retinoblastoma ISGEDR
Ghent, Belgium
August 22 – 24, 2013
Welcome to Ghent and to Your Meeting … Dear Participant Allow us to wish you a very warm welcome to the wonderful city of Ghent for the 2013 Meeting of the ISGEDR. With a program filled to the brim with fantastic presentations, we are confident that you will find this meeting most stimulating. The scientific quality of the papers and posters given by the participants covers a broad spectrum of genetic eye disease and retinoblastoma. Mixed with the free papers, are a number of symposia and keynote lectures. In addition to the superb intellectual gems of the free papers and posters, the symposia and keynote lectures will most certainly update us on the latest developments in therapies for inherited retinal dystrophies, current concepts of fibrillinopathies and related disorders, recognition and management of seeding of retinoblastoma, genome-‐wide association studies, and how novel molecular genetic techniques influence current ophthalmic genetic practice. We are certain that you may also find the beauty of Ghent and its many cultural highlights a treat. In addition to lunch provided on site, other culinary delights include a Belgian beer tasting with assorted cheeses on Thursday evening, and a gala dinner on Saturday evening in Hôtel Falligan, the most important rococo building of Ghent, built in 1755. We hope you have a great ISGEDR 2013 Meeting! Bart P. Leroy, M.D., Ph.D. Meeting Chair, and Head of Local Organizing Committee David A. Mackey, M.D. President, ISGEDR Elias I. Traboulsi, M.D. Executive Vice-‐President, ISGEDR Brenda Gallie, M.D. Member, Scientific Program Committee Birgit Lorenz, M.D. Member, Scientific Program Committee
