Announcing the Page - Wood Cleveland Virology Group Symposium

[msg at athene.hh.ri.ccf.org]

Announcing the Irvine H. Page - Harland G. Wood Cleveland Virology Group 
Symposium which will be held October 27-29, 1994 in Cleveland, Ohio.  This 
symposium is a joint project of the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve 
University (CWRU), the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF), and members of the 
Cleveland Virology Group (CVG) whose affiliates come from various institutions in 
northern Ohio.  

The symposium is being given, in part, to honor Irvine H. Page (CCF) and Harland 
G. Wood (CWRU) who both made enormous contributions during their lives to advance 
our understanding of medicine and science. The Page - Wood Symposium will be an 
annual event, although this year it has been joined with the Second Cleveland 
Virology Group Symposium which is sponsored by the CVG to bring outstanding 
scientists to the Cleveland area to discuss current topics in virology.

One and a half days of the three day symposium will be devoted to AIDS with 
sessions on public health and social policy, clinical issues including vaccine 
development, immunology, and treatment, and replication of retroviruses.  The 
second half of the program will focus on virus structure, retrovirus protein 
structure and virus-host interactions.
