We invite you to reserve the dates June 6-11, 2010 to attend the eighth international conference on our favorite macromolecule. The previous conferences, held in St.Tropez, France; London; Padua, Italy; Stockholm, Wrexham, Wales; Cleveland, Ohio and Charleston, South Carolina, were highly successful, and demonstrated the phenomenal growth in research on hyaluronan and its medical applications. We expect to organize another exciting, state-of-the-art program in this highly dynamic field, including sessions that feature basic science and clinical applications.

Hyaluronan 2010 will be held in the beautiful Kyoto Brighton Hotel. The conference will begin with an open all day registration and a welcome reception buffet on Sunday, June 6. Kyoto is easily accessible by air and train provides a wealth of history and opportunities for social and cultural activities.
