TAMILNADU – 9TH WINTER SYMPOSIUM 2011 – CHRISTIAN MEDICAL COLLEGE

The Department of Child Health takes great pleasure in inviting you to the Ninth Winter Symposium of Christian Medical College, Vellore, from January 6-8, 2011 on the theme ‘Biology of Childhood Disease’. The annual winter symposia are held with an aim to stimulate interest in relevant basic and applied research in the academic and student communities in India. With a host of leading national and international researchers and speakers, we plan to have several exciting lectures and interactive sessions that could spark a lasting passion for research, especially in young, eager and inquiring minds.

The field of paediatrics has seen major developments with the emergence of various subspecialties. There has been a tremendous outburst of information over the last decade in the understanding of the molecular biology and pathogenesis of various childhood disorders. It is appropriate for paediatricians, young scientists and academicians to take stock of the situation and gain a comprehensive understanding into the biology of various childhood disorders under the auspices of the CMC winter symposium. We invite you to be part of this enriching academic venture and gain a better insight into the understanding of childhood disorders.
