Dear Colleagues,
I am excited to invite you to Grand Rapids, Mich. in September 2015 for the 14th ISTRY Conference! The conference will be held at Van Andel Research Institute (VARI), which is situated in the heart of the city’s Medical Mile, and which includes Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine, several acclaimed hospitals, and other research and education centers. The 14th ISTRY Conference will be a venue for intellectual exchange and scientific collaboration among scientists in di erent research fields and scientific disciplines interested in chemical, biological and medical aspects of tryptophan metabolism.
In addition to the conference, there is plenty to do in West Michigan. Grand Rapids lies about 40 minutes from the white sand beaches of Lake Michigan. The city also is known for its great beer, produced by local breweries, as well as cuisine made from locally sourced ingredients. Grand Rapids is home to a thriving arts community and is host to ArtPrize, one of the world’s largest art competitions, in addition to numerous museums and the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park.
The international scientific organizing committee is currently planning the conference and invites you to submit ideas for the keynote lecture and seminars. Please submit all suggestions to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by November 15 for review by the scientific committee.
As the date gets closer, we will provide additional programming information along with details on how to register. We hope to see you next September!
