Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to welcome you to the 13th Encontro Brasileiro de Tiróide (Brazilian Thyroid Meeting) to be held in Campinas, São Paulo from May 22 to 25, 2008. As you know, this meeting is the most comprehensive gathering of endocrinologists, endocrine scientists, trainees and students interested in the thyroid and its diseases.
