Newswise — The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting—ENDO 08—will be held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California, June 15-18, 2008.
Approximately 7,000 scientists and clinicians from all over the world are expected to assemble for this premier meeting of hormone research, health science, and endocrinology.
It is the opportunity for journalists to learn about the latest research in fields as diverse as anabolic steroids, obesity, endocrine disrupters, diabetes, aging, growth hormone, sex hormones, thyroid cancer, and much more.
