400 members !!!

The International Society for Transgenic Technologies (ISTT) has reached today 400 members registered. After a most succesful 9th Transgenic Technology meeting, TT2010, held in Berlin a couple of weeks ago, attended by more than 450 participants and setting a new record for this meeting series, today we have reached the number of 400 members that have subscribed to our Society, four years after it was founded, in January 2006, in Madrid (Spain) with a lot of hope, work and committement by a short list of excited pioneers, but also with trust on a great community of colleagues, interested in animal transgenesis, involved in the production and/or the analysis of them, that we always thought will come along, as it has been the case. Congratulations to everyone and thanks a lot to all ISTT members for their support to this Society.
