Dr Darren Griffin and Dr Joanna Bridger would like to announce that the 15th International Chromosome Conference will be held at Brunel University in West London on 5th-10th September 2004. The meeting will continue to provide a forum for the presentation of exciting new work in the subject and will bring together scientists from all over the world.

We are particularly anxious to attract our colleagues from North America, Eastern Asia and Australasia to ensure that this will be a truly international conference.
