Résumé: Intermediate filament (IF) proteins are encoded by one of the largest gene families in man. They have attracted considerable attention because mutations in IF genes cause, according to their tissue-specific expression, a large variety of severe human diseases. Most notably, mutations affecting the nuclear intermediate filament proteins lamin A and C lead to a stunning multitude of disease entities ranging from muscular dystrophies to premature ageing. In order to obtain more insight into IF-dependent cellular functions and disease entities, various cell culture systems and animal models, in particular transgenic mice, have been generated. Complementary to this field-wide “bench-to-bed” enterprise an arsenal of biophysical techniques is being applied to IFs aimed at dissecting the structure, assembly and mechanics of single filaments at atomic detail.

Résumé: Unique to the Biochemical Society, these are residential research conferences covering a specialist topic and lasting 4-5 days. The conferences bring together scientists from various backgrounds with a common interest in - but varying approaches to - the topic of the conference.

Résumé: IQPC’s Pharma IQ’s Biobanking conference will show professionals working in Labs, Biorepositories, Bioanalysis and R&D how to set up productive biological sample management efforts; including assessing the latest automation systems; how to accurately assess samples including DNA, Blood and Human tissues; understand and work with Regulations and Bioethical challenges; and effectively collect and manage patient information.

Résumé: The conference will focus on rapidly developing areas of science in which chemists and other researchers can enhance current biology or even build completely new biological systems. It aims to play a leading role in bringing together the multidisciplinary community that will drive forward tomorrow's bioscience research.

Résumé: All cells contain a diverse range of repair pathways that have evolved to optimize their survival following damage to their DNA. These pathways involve the actions of a large number of DNA repair proteins to remove the damage and maintain genome stability. Clearly, when these processes do not function correctly, a likely result will be instability of the genome. A large body of experimental data has demonstrated that such genetic instability can cause a wide variety of human diseases. This meeting will highlight recent major advances in understanding biochemical details about how DNA repair intersects with cellular pathways that lead to cancer or ageing. The meeting is particularly timely since it is now apparent that these biochemical processes offer significant potential for novel therapies to treat diseases such as cancer.

Résumé: Welcome to the inaugural Peptides Europe conference and exhibition. This year's event will be held in the beautiful and historic city of Edinburgh. The conference will be co-located with Advances in Synthetic Chemistry. Registered delegates will have access to both meetings ensuring a very cost-effective trip. Make the most of your trip by attending the pre-conference training course. Agenda Topics to include: New Approaches in Peptide/Protein Synthesis Biosynthetic Chemistry Structure-Function Relationship Peptide Biotechnology and Diagnostics Pharmacology and Medical Peptide Chemistry Bioinformatics in Peptide Research

Résumé: The Biotechnology committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry is organising an international conferece on Natural products as an important source of leads in multiple industrial sectors - notably pharmaceutical and agrochemical. This will be a three day conference comprising leading figures and current topics in natural product, medicinal and agrochemistry
