The meeting was a great success! We would like to thank all the contributors to the meeting, speakers, poster presenters and those who participated in the roundtable discussions. The quality of these contributions and the breadth of the science covered were excellent. We particularly appreciated the efforts of those who served on the Roundtable Panels dutifully visiting all the relevant posters on the previous evening and those who judged the posters and oral presentations.
