The Angiotensin Gordon Conference will move to a new site for the year 2006 and we are looking forward to holding the meeting in Aussois, a mountain resort in the French Alps. The meeting site is a conference center mainly used by French scientific societies and also by the Gordon Conference organization.

The program listed below maintains our tradition of having a good mix between established groups and newcomers to the field. In addition to the scientific talks, we will organize a poster session and encourage you to submit abstracts. As in previous years we will have a young investigator award competition, and the steering committee will select abstracts for oral presentations of junior researchers from all those submitted.

As a new addition to the program, we will have a session devoted to late breaking results on Thursday afternoon. Curt Sigmund has collected proposals from the participants and the steering commitee has selected two promising topics. There will be also time for additional discussants who feel that they have exciting new data in this session.

Steering Committee: Kenneth M. Baker, Robert M. Carey, Alessandro Capponi, Kathy K. Griendling, Llazlo Hunyady, Martin Paul, Kathryn Sandberg, Curt D. Sigmund
