TGF-β: Discovery and Promise-- A Symposium Honoring the Memory of Anita B. Roberts
This one-day symposium was held at the Natcher Conference Center at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, on 19 September 2008. With over 400 registrants and 13 speakers, as well as more than 35 posters, this short meeting was packed with interesting science. The symposium was organized by Kathleen Flanders (National Cancer Institute), Michael Sporn (Dartmouth Medical School) and Lopa Mishra (Georgetown University). The attendees and speakers came from all over the world, including Japan (Kohei Miyazono), Germany (Klaus Unsicker), and the Netherlands (Peter ten Dijke). Many, if not all, of the invited speakers had worked, collaborated, or wrote articles with Anita Roberts (1942-2006) and most included anecdotes and praise for the colleague, scientist, friend, and mentor that she was. Several talks are highlighted here.
