Kurzbeschreibung: Since the first two International Congresses on Fetal Origins of Adult Disease in India (2001) and England (2003), scientific progress has been astounding. From preconception to adulthood, and from genes to society, there has been an explosion of new information in this field, now known as Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD).



The 3rd International Congress on DOHaD will be held 16-20 November 2005 in cosmopolitan Toronto. This meeting is dedicated to sharing the latest information from the many disciplines under the DOHaD umbrella, and to accelerating the pace of interdisciplinary research in the field.



The 3rd Congress will retain the most popular features from the first two Congresses, while adding a number of innovations:

* Increased emphasis on implications of DOHaD for the developing world

* New programs for trainees and young investigators, including awards for outstanding abstract submissions

* Increased opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration

* More oral abstract presentations and dedicated poster sessions
* Four themes—exposures, outcomes, mechanisms, and interventions—woven throughout the program

* New perspectives on DOHaD, e.g., evolutionary biology, developmental plasticity, influences of social hierarchies, effects of prematurity, populations in transition, approaches to data analysis
