OXIDATION
OF NITROGEN
The Third International Symposium on The Biological Oxidation of Nitrogen in Organic Molecules is to be held on 12-17 August 1984 at Chelsea College, London. Enquiries should be sent to Dr J. W. Gorrod, Chelsea College, University of London, Manresa Road, London SW3 6LX.
NEUROTOXICOLOGY
CONFERENCE
The Third International Conference on Neurotoxicology of Selected Chemicals, Pyrethroids and Neuroactitie Pesticides, will be held in Chicago on 9912 September 1984. The conference will discuss molecular, cellular and behavioural aspects of a variety of pesticides, including pyrethroids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates, carbamates and chlordimeform. For more information, contact Dr Joan M. Cranmer, Conference Chairman-Mail No. 638, Division of Interdisciplinary Toxicology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR 72205, USA.
CANCER
CONFERENCE
An international conference entitled The Molecular Biologlt of Cancer is to be held in Boston, Massachusetts, on IO-12 September 1984. Sponsored by the journal Nature, the conference will cover topics including oncogenes, growth factors, hereditary cancer, carcinogenesis and promotors, drug resistance, monoclonal antibodies and new drugs. Further information is available from The Molecular Biology of Cancer, c/o Nature Publishing Co., 15 East 26th Street, New York, NY 100 10.
NEUROTOXICOLOGY
COURSE
A NATO Advanced Study Institute course on the toxicology of the nervous system will be held on 10-12 September 1984 in Belgirate, Italy. An integrated series of lectures will be given on current concepts and research strategies, and the topics to be discussed include the mechanisms of disorders resulting from low-level chronic exposures, actions and interactions of environmental agents, and methods and models in long-term neurotoxicity studies. Those wishing to attend must send a curriculum vitae (with a list of publications) to the Secretariat by 15 June 1984. For more information, contact the Organizing Secretariat, Mrs D. Galli, Nutrition Foundation of Italy, Via Balzaretti 9, 20133 Milan, Italy.
