The Tamburro Symposium is the 1st dedicated conference on environmental chemicals and liver disease. It will be held at the University of Louisville’s new Clinical and Translational Research Building. Highlights of the two day conference include nearly 30 total lectures on

  1. mechanisms of liver injury and fibrosis,
  2. hepatic xenobiotic metabolism,
  3. halogenated aliphatics and metals,
  4. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,
  5. chemical carcinogenesis, and
  6. alternative testing strategies.

Key thought leaders including physicians and scientists from 13 institutions representing both academia and government will lecture. These speakers represent the largest concentration of thought leaders ever assembled with the purpose of defining the state of environmental hepatology. Abstract submission is open until September 5, and there will be a judged poster session.
