The XVI International Symposium on Olfaction and Taste will be celebrated in Stockholm, June 23-27 2012. It is 50 years since the first ISOT was organised in Stockholm, and at midsummer time, when Sweden is at its best, we return to the birthplace. The ISOT meetings typically attract a wide range of scientists and other professionals active in the field of chemo sensation, in the very broadest sense. We have assembled an outstanding group of Keynote and Plenary Speakers, and thanks to a number of colleagues suggesting and organizing sessions at the Symposium we also have an excellent coverage of the field. The Keynote and Plenary Speakers are Cori Bargmann Linda Buck Rickard Ignell Kristin Scott and Charles Zuker Regarding the program and the sessions organised, please have a look at our website at http://www.isotxvi.com To register, please click the link below, or go to the webpage https://www.akademikonferens.se/isot2012 Abstract submission is open until January 31, 2012.
