Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to participate at the 10th International Symposium on VIP, PACAP and Related Peptides to be held in Eilat, Israel, December 13th - December 16, 2011. The meeting will be held in association with the Israel Society for Neuroscience Meeting and the Japan-Israel Binational Meeting.

This symposium intends to provide an interactive forum for discussion of a diversity of topics concerning VIP/PACAP and related peptides (secretin, glucagon and so on), which includes a variety of research fields ranging from the basic sciences such as neurobiology, pharmacology and physiology, to the clinical sciences such as drug discovery and clinical application. A variety of distinguished speakers will be invited to bring us up-to-date topics in peptides research, and active participation will be further promoted by presentations of research from individual participants.

The venue, the Hilton Eilat Queen of Sheba hotel is located in Eilat - the most southern city in Israel. The hotel is an exclusive resort with a natural environment for a true taste of paradise offering a magical sense of relaxing tranquility, with panoramic views across Eilat's Red Sea Bay and vibrant tropical sunsets. The hotel is located in the precise spot where the mountains of the Sinai and Arava Deserts meet the crystal waters of the Red Sea. Eilat is not only a holiday type city but it has also become a city full of attractions, by sea, by land, on the beaches, etc. Eilat holidays can be spectacular and there are many kinds, you just have to pick your own personal eilat holiday, and go with it! Eilat keeps growing and developing and as the years go by Eilat is adding more and more appeal to the average vacation.. There is no doubt that Eilat will be the perfect host for the 10th International Symposium on VIP, PACAP and Related Peptides, and hence we invite all those who are involved in the field to attend

We look forward to welcoming you in Eilat in December 2011.
