Purpose of Symposium
The
15th International Symposium on Trace Elements in Man and
Animals ( TEMA 15) will be inclusive for the trace element
community as presentations will include reports of research
on humans, animals, cells and molecules both basic and
applied. The symposium will cover diverse topics related to
man and animals by including, for example, model systems and
status assessment methods.
The symposium will bring together biomedical and nutritional
scientists with interests in trace mineral
nutrition and metabolism. Interests of the group will
include trace element nutrition and relationships to human disease,
trace mineral metabolism in agricultural animals, including
trace minerals in foods and issues related to
bioavailability.
The goals of TEMA 15 continues the TEMA tradition of 1) being
a form for recent progress and 2) a site to exchange ideas
among international investigators in the trace element
field.
