The American Pancreatic Association and The International Association of Pancreatology joint meeting was held in Chicago, Illinois November 1-4, 2006.
The Hirshberg foundation has been a supporter of this event for many years. The meeting allows scientists and physicians from all parts of the world to gain a better understanding of the collaborative opportunities for interaction between clinicians and basic scientists in diseases of the pancreas. Most importantly, up to date research results are reviewed which are key to new therapies.
The two Hirshberg awardees from this year’s event were:
M. Apte, Pancreatic Research Group,
The University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
“Pancreatic Stellate cells Stimulate Pancreatic Cancer Growth and Metastasis:
Findings of a Novel Orthotopic Model of Pancreatic Cancer” Pancreas 33(4):472, 2006
A. Sultana, Division of Surgery and Oncology,
Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool, UK
“Meta-Analyses of the Management of Locally Advanced and Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer” Pancreas 33(4):499, 2006
We congratulate both doctors.
