Dear ISMICS Members,

I am delighted to present the May/June issue of INNOVATIONS, which contains all of the abstracts for the 2010 ISMICS Annual Scientific Meeting. Also included is the scientific program, and messages from our President, Dr. Anno Diegeler, as well as myself, as Editor in Chief of the journal. This issue of INNOVATIONS is open access on the INNOVATIONS website as well as the ISMICS website, and I invite you to take a look at the site and see the high quality presentations which will be offered at this year’s Annual Meeting in Berlin.

You may still register for the Annual Meeting by visiting the ISMICS Registration Desk onsite at the InterContinental Hotel in Berlin, Germany.
