| 11.8PKDD — 8th Protein Kinases in Drug Discovery Conference |
| Dates | 08 Jul 2013 → 09 Jul 2013 | [ID=542351] |
| Location | Boston, United States |
| Abstract | Despite the hundreds of kinase inhibitors currently in discovery and pre-clinical phases, the number of kinase inhibitors which have been approved and are on the market remains low by comparison. This discrepancy reflects the challenges which accompany the development of ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors, including low specificity and off-target binding. There is also the problem of gatekeeper-associated drug resistance. To remain competitive in the kinase field, it will require you to stay abreast with recent development trends and technological advancements aimed at circumventing these issues. We will also provide you with a broad overview of the role kinases play in various types of cancer as well as introduce you to several novel kinases and inhibitor candidates. |

| 29.Exploiting bacteriophages for bioscience, biotechnology and medicine |
| Start date | 23 Jan 2014 | [ID=513439] |
| Location | London, United Kingdom |
| Abstract | Bacteriophages (phages) are arguably the most abundant biological entities on the planet. They play crucial roles in driving the adaptive evolution of their bacterial hosts, and achieve this both through the predator)prey roles of the phage)bacterium interaction and through the adaptive impacts of lysogeny and lysogenic conversion. Bacteriophages are the source of many biochemical reagents and technologies, indispensible for modern molecular biology. Furthermore, phages are being exploited in other areas of biotechnology, including diagnostics, prophylaxis and other aspects of food microbiology. In recent years there has been a growing interest in developing phages for therapeutic purposes (phage therapy) as natural alternatives to antibiotics. |
