The ZDM10 (Zebrafish Disease Models Society) Annual Conference will be held Aug. 5-8, 2017 at The Westin San Diego. 2017 is an exciting year for us, as it marks our 10th anniversary of the annual ZDM meeting, which is the premier gathering for researchers who use the zebrafish to study human disease.

ZDM meetings recognize the need for relevant animal models to support mechanistic understanding of disease pathology and spur the development of innovative transitional approaches. The ZDM meetings have become an ideal setting to make contact with investigators from around the world who are working in technically demanding and well-funded areas of disease biology.

Please mark your calendars and become a part of this internationally recognized event! Sponsor or exhibit and market your products and services to 400+ attendees that include top research and development professionals, professors and faculty research directors, senior teaching consultants, graduate students, and others involved in zebrafish disease research.

For additional information about sponsoring or exhibiting, please contact Lisa Cormier at Lisac@sswmeetings.com or Marissa Streun at Marissa@sswmeetings.com or call toll free +1-866-374-6338.
