Dear colleagues and friends,
 
On behalf of the Organizing Committee it is our honour and pleasure to invite you to the 49th Workshop on Inner Ear Biology (IEB), which will take place from 30 September to 02 October 2012 in Tübingen, Germany, preceded by a Symposium on 29 September at the same location.
 
The IEB Workshops are organized annually throughout academic centres in Europe with the objective of offering an international platform for scientific exchange on the latest developments in the field of inner ear biology. The Workshops are forum for multidisciplinary interaction between basic research scientists and clinicians working at the genetic, molecular, cellular, and whole-organ levels. The Symposium, with presentations from invited speakers, will highlight the near-future application of basic research to diagnosis and therapy of sensorineural hearing loss.
 
On behalf of all those involved, we would like to encourage you and your colleagues to participate actively in the Workshop by submitting an Abstract for an oral or a poster presentation. Please click here to download the Call for Abstracts flyer. The deadline is 30 June 2012.
 
Further information can be found on our conference homepage www.innerearbiology.de.
 
We sincerely hope that you will join us in Tübingen for IEB 2012.
 
Yours sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Anthony W. Gummer
PD Dr. Hubert Löwenheim

Place: Tübingen
