Welcome
On behalf of the United Kingdom Behçet’s Disease Forum and the United Kingdom Behçet’s Syndrome Society, we have great pleasure in announcing the 14th International Conference on Behçet’s Disease, to be held in London from 8th-10th July 2010 under the auspices of the International Society for Behçet’s Disease.
The venue of the Conference will be the Queen Mary University Conference Centre at Mile End, London E1. The venue is within five minutes walk from the Mile End Underground Station, and a short taxi ride from hotels situated at St Catherine’s dock near Tower Bridge.
The Conference Steering Committee is planning to provide an excellent scientific programme, aiming at bringing new developments in basic and clinical science to bear on the specific issues of Behçet’s Disease (BD). Topics to be covered will include Immunology of BD, Vasculitis in BD, Genetic basis of BD, Regional Inflammation and Paediatric BD. The programme will also include debates on topics of current interest or controversy.
Besides these main activities, you will be able to enjoy the rich cultural life, and tourist attractions of London and the rest of the UK. July is at the peak of the English summer, offering very pleasant weather with a temperature range of 14-24 C.
We greatly look forward to welcoming you to London in July 2010!
