Iron Metabolism An International Symposium

International Symposia sponsored by ClBA Basle have been held once a year since 1959 in various European countries. In con­ trast to the many scientific meetings organised by the ClBA FOUN­ DATION either at its headquarters in London or occasionally abroad, the subjects dealt with at these Internati...
