Perhaps the most tangible achievement of the SSIEM has been its publication. Every one of its symposia has been published and this has provided invaluable review on specific topics in the field of inborn errors of metabolism.
History of the SSIEM
The origins of the SSIEM may be traced to an informal meeting held in England at the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 1962 when an enthusiastic group of biochemists and paediatricians met to discuss phenylketonuria.
Aims of the Society
The aim of the Society is to foster the study of inherited metabolic disorders and related topics. The Society, founded in 1963, exists to promote exchange of ideas between professional workers in different disciplines who are interested in inherited metabolic disease.
