This conference includes sessions on phosphatase structure, phosphatases in signal transduction, genetic studies, and the role of phosphatases in cell adhesion. The addition and removal of phosphatases are important in many signaling pathways, but the research emphasis has been greater on the phosphorylation studies. This is one of the few meetings devoted to phosphatases, and the topics are current and address new interactions. The format of the meeting is conducive to interchange of ideas among participants. ***
