ICE 1992, Nice, France: "Three decades after the first International Congress of Endocrinology, endocrinology still appears as an exponentially expanding field of biological and health sciences having meanwhile altogether incorporated the major conceptual and technical breakthroughs in molecular biology and immunology, and extended the concepts of basic mechanisms of hormone production and action to all fields of intercellular communication" - Rene Mornex.
