International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT)

ISOTT promotes research into all aspects of the processes involved in the transport of oxygen from the air to its final consumption in the cells of the various organs of the body. It organises an annual conference and publishes the conference proceedings Oxygen Transport to Tissue in the Springer book series Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology.

Events

Members of our society gathers every year at the annual meeting at a location that alternates between the United States, Europe and Asia in response to the need determined by its geographical makeup. The President of our society is to host the annual meeting, and is a representative of the international as well as the local scientific community.
