THE INTERNATIONAL CELL DEATH SOCIETY
The Society promulgates a better understanding of the mechanisms of
cell death and apoptosis, establishing communication among the various
branches of the research, and communicating and coordinating the
application of research findings. We sponsor monthly meetings in New
York City and other cities, an annual meeting, a newsletter, and a web
page. Members receive discounts to Cell Death and Differentiation and
Apoptosis, and discounted registration for the annual meeting
(applicable for this meeting with registration).
