Thank you for attending the ISMA 2008


We were very happy to welcome you at the 3rd International Symposium on Molecular Allergology (ISMA 2008) in Salzburg. The Symposium was promoted by the Interest Group Allergy Diagnosis (IGAD) and supported by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI). The 2006 and 2007-meetings took place in Rome we were organized by Adriano Mari and Jörg Kleine-Tebbe.

The Symposium in Salzburg placed emphasis on basic, translational and clinical aspects of allergenic molecules. We were extremely fortunate to have several Keynote speakers representing international top researchers in the Allergy field. And we are very pleased that Roy Gerth van Wijk, the president of the EAACI, summarized the current trends in Allergology.

We would like to thank all speakers, sponsors and participants for contributing to the success of the ISMA 2008 in Salzburg.
