The 34th Annual Conference of the International Embryo Transfer Society (IETS) will be held Jan. 5-9, 2008, in Denver, Colorado.
The conference brings together experts in embryo technologies from around the world. Faculty members from Colorado
State University will attend the conference, present during conference proceedings, and are leading the local program
committee, as well as making local arrangements.
The conference will include numerous symposia on embryo transfer topics and technologies, poster sessions, sessions with a practitioner’s focus, as well as opening and closing ceremonies and a keynote address.
The International Embryo Transfer Society was formed in 1974 in Denver to serve as a professional forum for the exchange of information among practitioners, scientists, educators, regulatory officials, livestock breeders, suppliers of drugs and equipment, and students. The purpose of the IETS is to further the science of animal embryo transfer by promoting more effective research, disseminating scientific and educational information, fostering high standards of education, maintaining high standards of ethics, and cooperating with other organizations having similar objectives.
Members of the Society are engaged in the practice of embryo transfer in a variety of species, and in research on embryo production, transgenesis and cloning, on mechanisms regulating embryo development, and on development following embryo transfer. Species studied include domesticated and laboratory animals, and endangered species. Registration information for the 34th Annual Conference of the International Embryo Transfer Society is available at the Society’s Web site at www.iets.org.
