Dr. Keith Green was chair of the organizing committee in his role as President of ISOT. The meeting was held from October 13 through 17, 1996 at the Grove Park Inn and Resort in Asheville, North Carolina. Program highlights were sessions organized around the themes of ocular drug metabolism and nitric oxide effects. A workshop on in vitro and in vivo models for ocular toxicity testing occupied almost a whole day with an enthusiastic audience that provided vigorous interaction and a ready exchange of ideas. The proceedings were published by Plenum Press, New York, in a text entitled "Advances in Ocular Toxicology". |
