A Conference was held in Charing Cross Hospital Medical
School, University of London, England to discuss the "Flow of
Blood in Relation to the Vessel Wall", which meeting was explained
by A.L.Copley later year that "This was one of 3 historical
milestones in the establishment of biorheology as an organized
science. The third International Congress
on Rheology was held in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.
1959
The very successful Conference, "Flow properties of Blood and
Other Biological Systems" convened jointly by the Faraday Society
(Colloid and Biophysics Committee) and the British Society of Rheology,
held at University Laboratory of Physiology, Oxford, England, (Sept.
23-24). It had large section devoted to topics such as the rheology
of mucus, milk, hyaluronic acid and problems. The founding of an international
society of biorheology was further discussed. It was one of the milestones
in the establishment of biorheology as an organized science.
1961
A symposium was held in Israel on rheology and microcirculation.
1962
The journal "Biorheology", Vol. 1, the first issue,
was published by Pergamon Press Ltd. in England, George Scott Blair
and Alfred
L. Copley acted as its Founders and Editors-in-chief.
1963
The 4th International Congress on Rheology was held in Providence,
Rhode Island and a sysmposium on biorheology was organized by A.L.Copley
as part of the Congress. Hellmut Hartert suggested that formal steps
should be taken to organize an International Society of Biorheology,
with A.L.Copley as its first President.
1966
The first International Conference on Hemorheology was held at
University of Iceland, July 10-16, 1966. The international Society
of Hemorheology
was founded and Robin Fåhræus became the first awardee of
the Poiseuille Gold Medal, the highest honor of the Society. After the
foundation of the International Society of Hemorheology, Robin Fåhræus
became a member of its Council and acted as a Chairman of its Committee
on Standards and Terminology.
1969
The International Society of Hemorheology (President, A.L.Copley),
became affiliated with the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics
(IUPAB) (President, Aharon Katchalsky). The 2nd International Conference
on Hemorheology was held in Heidelberg from July 27 through August
1, 1969, and George Scott Blair became the second awardee of the Poiseuille
Gold Medal.
1969 The International Society of Biorheology was founded. At the business
meeting of the International Society of Hemorheology held on Aug. 1,
1969, in Heidelberg, Germany, it was agreed that the name of the Society
would be changed to the International Society of Biorheology because
there was need to broaden the the scope and aims of the International Society
of Hemorheology to encompass the entire science of Biorheology.
1972
The first International Congress of Biorheology was held at Palais
des Congrésin Lyon, France, Spet. 4-8, 1972 and Alfred L. Copley
became the third awardee of the Poiseuille Gold Medal. The third International
Conference on Hemorheology was the first International Congress of
Biorheology, held together with the 6th International Congress on Rheology.
1975
The 2nd International Congress of Biorheology was held at the
Weismann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, Dec. 29, 1974 - January
7, 1975
and Syoten Oka became the fourth awardee of the Poiseuille Gold Medal.
1977
In December, 1977, the first national society of biorheology with
about 200 members was founded in Japan as "The Japanese Society
of Biorheology".
1978
The third International Congress of Biorheology was held at University
of California, San Deigo, La Jolla, U.S.A., Joly became the fifth recepient
of the Poiseuille Gold Medal.
1979
The European Symposium on "Hemorheology and Diseases" was
held in Nancy, France, Oct 17-19, 1979. During this Conference, biorheologists,
clinicians and pharmacologists from all over the Europe were able to
compare results. The wide interest shown in this symposium has encouraged
the representatives of the main teams working in this feild in Europe
to anticipate further symposium on this theme. The Nancy symposium had
therefore come to be known as "The 1st European Conference on Clinical
Hemorheology" as chairman of J.F. Stoltz.
