The HPS Network is a sponsor of The Gordon Research Conference: Lung Development, Injury and Repair. The conference is to be held Aug. 14 – 19, 2011 at Salve Regina University, Newport, RI. The conference will emphasize mechanisms in lung development, injury and repair and focus on new advances in these fields such as microRNA, systems biology, and bioengineering. By bringing together a diverse and outstanding group of investigators to present the most up-to-date advances in these related fields, the conference hopes to encourage creative and multidisciplinary approaches that will ultimately facilitate development of innovative and effective therapies.
