4th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Animal Health Laboratorians Network (CAHLN)June 5-8 2005 Complete announcement (PDF file 21k) The 4th annual meeting of the Canadian Animal Health Laboratorians Network (CAHLN) is being held in Saint-Hyacinthe, June 5-8, 2005, (Sunday evening to Weds noon) in the Conference room 0448 at the 1 500 Ave des Vétérinaires. The CAHLN was established in 2002 in order to present information on animal health diagnostic trends, techniques and research, to provide a venue for "networking" to identify common issues of concern, and to facilitate linkages among organizations and scientific staff involved in animal health diagnostic work in Canada. The Network consists of individuals across the wide spectrum of laboratory disciplines, including bacteriology, pathology, immunology, virology, parasitology, toxicology, and molecular biology. Graduate students are strongly encouraged to participate. The first two CAHLN meetings have been hosted by CFIA at Nepean, Ontario and the last one was held at the Ontario Veterinary College, Ontario. We plan to now rotate the meetings through the 4 veterinary colleges and Nepean. Simultaneous English and French translation will be available for keynote presentations.
