ISOTT, the International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue, is comprised of 250 members worldwide.  Its purpose is to further the understanding of all aspects of the processes involved in the transport of oxygen from the air to its ultimate consumption in the cells of the various organs of the body. The annual meeting brings together scientists, engineers, clinicians and mathematicians in a unique international forum for the exchange of information and knowledge, the updating of participants on latest developments and techniques, and the discussion of controversial issues within the field of oxygen transport to tissue.

NM-INBRE Annual Symposium includes opportunities for faculty and students to present their science through oral and poster presentations and for professional development workshops. This event establishes an environment that fosters the development of strong, mutually respectful relationships between the faculty, who represent widely different institutions. The conference enables annual administrative meetings of the EC and EAC to conduct assessment, evaluation, and strategic planning activities with the AC. The annual conference provides the best venue for all committees to meet and gather first-hand information from the program participants, since the number and sheer distance between institutions imposes practical limitations on multiple comprehensive visits to the participating institutions.
