Symposium On Growth Factors In Biology And Medicine Held At The Ciba Foundation London, 22-24 January 1985.--p. V. Editors: David Evered, Jonathan Nugent And Julie Whelan. Includes Bibliographies And Indexes. The Novartis Foundation Series is a popular collection of the proceedings from Novartis Foundation Symposia, in which groups of leading scientists from a range of topics across biology, chemistry and medicine assembled to present papers and discuss results. The Novartis Foundation, originally known as the Ciba Foundation, is well known to scientists and clinicians around the world.
