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: Presenting ALL NEW data on design and validation of assays, pre-clinical and clinical developments, regulatory requirements, risk management and formulation. Join us in Hamburg to hear presentations on how to successfully develop screening, confirmatory and neutralising assays. Our interactive panel sessions will ensure you gain the most from this 4 day event. Plus, don’t miss our 14 case studies; learn from those with hands-on, practical experience and take this back to your company. Programme highlights for 2008: • Genentech, Pfizer and The Health Protection Agency present detailed case studies on neutralising assays. This year the design and validation of assays have been split into two separate sessions so that you can gain an in-depth and thorough understanding of this challenging area. With a whole day dedicated to this hot topic you can ensure you come away with the tools to gain meaningful results. • Join leading academic and industry experts, Professor Tudor Arvinte, Uni

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: Bench2Boardroom is now clearly established as the event for the UK's biotech and medtech communities. Once again, delegates benefited from an update on services, products and best practice as well as peer to peer networking and expert advice. The online facility available prior to the event was extremely popular this year, allowing individuals to capitalise on their Bench2Boardroom day by pre-planning their personal agendas and one to one meetings.

Bench2Boardroom 2008 will be held on 15 October 2008, at Chilford Hall.

Résumé: The 10th Summer School will be run over the week of 13th-17th July, 2009. The courses running in 2009 are: Twin model-fitting(Mx), Gene Expression and Microarrays (Affymetrix) and Bioinformatics for Geneticists.
