Brings together a cross-fertilization of ideas between human molecular genetics, develeopmental biology, tissue biology and the biochemistry of cell signalling pathways, in order to create new insights into the mechanisms of normal and abnormal skeletogenesis.

Gail Cardew is the editor of The Molecular Basis of Skeletogenesis, published by Wiley.

Jamie Goode is a British author with a PhD in plant biology, and a wine columnist of The Sunday Express. Goode also contributes to wine publications such as Harpers, The World of Fine Wine, Decanter, GrapesTALK and Sommelier Journal.

Symposium on The molecular basis of skeletogenesis, held at the Novartis Foundation, London, 9 --- 11 November 1999
