The National Library of Medicine announces a one-day symposium,
New Frontiers of Biomedical Research, 1945-1980, on October 29, 2001,
at its Lister Hill Center on the National Institutes of Health campus
in Bethesda, Maryland.

The conference will explore the history of 20th century biomedical research
in the United States, through the insights of scientists who have been
instrumental in three areas: the administration of the U.S. biomedical
research establishment, psychopharmacology, and genetics. Main speakers
will be Julius Axelrod, 1970 Nobel Laureate for work in neuroscience;
Donald S. Fredrickson, former director of the National Institutes of Health,
1975-1981; and Joshua Lederberg, 1958 Nobel Laureate for work in bacterial
genetics. Their work will be explored through dialogue with noted
contemporary historians of science, including Nathaniel Comfort,
David Hart, David Healy, Ellen Herman, M. Susan Lindee, Stuart Leslie,
and Jan Sapp.

The conference is free and open to the public, but advance registration
is requested.  For further information, please see the web site
