LANGUAGE NOTE: This meeting will be conducted in English.

On and before June 21, 2012, the cost is $50.00, which is deducted from your registration fee when you register for this meeting.

After June 21, 2012, there is an additional $50.00 fee, which is NOT deducted from the registration fee.

You may submit your abstract on the conference web site until July 25, 2012.

(After this date you will need to contact our office about submitting an abstract.)

Age-related diseases and disabilities, such as cancer, diabetes, and neuronal degeneration, pose an ever increasing social and economic burden worldwide. Fortunately, the last decades have witnessed dramatic progress in our understanding of the aging process. Genetic studies in particular have helped elucidate some of the molecular pathways that regulate the aging and offered new insights into the treatment of age-related diseases. However, there is still much to be learned and further progress in addressing the unique challenges of the aging population will require new insights and novel approaches. In order to accelerate the discovery process, this Keystone Symposia meeting will cover essential aspects of the aging processes, including cell signaling pathways, DNA stability, protein homeostasis, stem cells and cellular senescence. Each plenary session will emphasize innovative findings from a variety of models in basic research areas and link them to age-related disease and frailty. The ultimate goal is to provide an opportunity for attendees to communicate and promote an integrated understanding of aging and age-related diseases. The program for this meeting is highly likely to attract a wide variety of investigators, many of whom might not otherwise interact.

Call for Papers: International Conference on Biomolecular Engineering

The 2013 ICBE will be held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida January 13-16, 2013

ICBE brings together researchers who are using quantitative approaches to advance the understanding and application of molecular biology. These scientists, engineers, and professionals are contributing to the development of analytical, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies that are directly relevant to public health. The conference, co-chaired by Ali Khademhosseini (Harvard University) and Kristala Prather (MIT) will stimulate efforts to integrate these approaches across the scales of biological complexity in a single-track Gordon-style conference format that includes hotel accommodations and most meals.

Papers will be accepted on the topics of:

Biomolecular Engineering for Cell and Tissue Engineering
Biophysical and Microscale Analyses of Molecular and Cellular Function
Experimental & Computational Tools for Engineering Biomolecules
Interface of Bionanotechnology and Biomolecules
Metabolic Pathway Engineering
Protein Engineering
Synthetic Biology

Abstracts of approximately 300 words should be submitted no later than November 1, 2012. The abstract should include both the significance of the research as well as results that will be discussed in order to allow a scientific assessment of the work by the organizers. To submit a paper, visit http://aiche.confex.com/aiche/12icbe/cfp.cgi.
