SRNT's 12th Annual Meeting

February 15-18 , 2006
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
Orlando, Florida

Program Information

The SRNT program will center around a variety of themes, including international issues and topics of basic, clinical, and public health sciences, and will include invited addresses by leaders in these fields. This year’s program also will include state-of-the-science symposia, oral paper sessions, workshops and roundtable discussions, a new investigator paper session and a member’s business meeting. A vital component of the program will be poster sessions that present the most recent research findings in the field of nicotine and tobacco and will take place throughout the conference. No other sessions will coincide with the poster sessions in order to maximize exchange of recent findings and promote communication among researchers with common interests.
