Pseudotype Viruses - Applications and Troubleshooting

Wednesday, 02 October 2013 09:00 - 17:00 London United Kingdom

Pseudotype viruses are rapidly establishing themselves as important research and diagnostic tools of basic and clinical scientists facilitating the detailed study of individual viral genes, host cell receptors and highly pathogenic viruses, circumventing the need for high-level biosafety containment. The switching of surface envelope proteins expressed on the surface of these pseudotypes enables them to be used as surrogate viruses in neutralization/antiviral screening assays and for the study of cell–virus receptor interactions. This meeting encompasses the many diverse applications of pseudotype technologies from a practical, translational and public health perspective.

Who Should Attend

• Public and animal health scientists.

• Individuals establishing diagnostic assays for viruses.

• Epidemiologists, virologists, immunologists, R&D, pre-clinical vaccinologists.

The Microbiome in Health, Disease, and Therapeutics: Bugs, Guts and Drugs

Friday, October 4, 2013 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM The New York Academy of Sciences New York, New York

Presented by the Biochemical Pharmacology Discussion Group

The host of microorganisms inhabiting the human body, or microbiome, plays essential roles in both health and the pathogenesis and resolution of disease. Symbioses between humans and the microbiome influence broad aspects of human biology including nutrition, immune function, and even brain development. Altered microbial community profiles are associated with a variety of chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, allergic conditions, obesity, and psychiatric and neurological disorders. The microbiome influences therapeutic interventions: metabolism of drugs by both intestinal bacteria and enterocytes, leading to systemic absorption may provide valuable insights into pre-systemic drug metabolism, delivery, and toxicity. A better understanding of the metabolic pathways may aid in drug development and toxicity evaluation processes. The microbiome itself may be a target of, or tool for new therapeutic strategies for diseases as diverse as irritable bowel syndrome, and Parkinson’s disease. This symposium reviews the basic biology of the human microbiome symbiosis and its systemic effects, the impact of the gut microbiome on drug metabolism, the opportunities offered by the microbiome for new drug development, and the essential role played by the microbiome in a variety of disease states.

23rd Wilhelm Bernhard Workshop on the Cell Nucleus

19-24 August, 2013 Debrecen, Hungary

The next meeting of the Wilhelm Bernhard Workshop on the cell nucleus is due between 19-24 August, 2013, to be organized this time in the beautiful campus of the University of Debrecen, Hungary.

The last meeting was held in Riga, Latvia, with more than 120 participants from all over the world. This is a highly informal, exceptionally enjoyable series of meetings that could perpetuate itself since 1969, as a result of its always friendly atmosphere, high scientific standards and an openness to novel perspectives and to serendipitious observations. We would be very much pleased if you could you attend and contribute to the success of the forthcoming workshop.

Session titles

A. Nuclear structure and dynamics

B. Chromatin structure and its regulation

C. Nucleolus, ribosome biogenesis; nuclear bodies

D. Nuclear envelope; nuclear transport processes

E. Gene expression: Transcriptional and posttranscriptional processes

F. DNA replication and repair

G. Plant nuclei and chromatin

International Conference on the Chemistry and Biology of Mineralized Tissues

October 27 - November 1,  2013 Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

The aim of the 11th ICCBMT meeting is to disseminate state-of-the-art information about the structure, function, and interactions of the mineral, matrix and cellular components in bones, teeth, and other mineralized vertebrate and invertebrate tissues while encouraging collaboration among investigators in different disciplines. Scientific data presented at the meeting contribute to the knowledge and basic understanding of the events involved in the formation, maintenance and repair/regeneration of mineralized tissues.

Obesity Week 2013

November 11-16, 2013 Atlanta, Georgia

In our first year, we have brought together the resources of the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and The Obesity Society (TOS) to co-locate our respective annual meetings under one roof. We have developed the preeminent annual scientific and educational conference covering the full scope of the obesity issue, from cutting edge basic science and clinical research to intervention and public policy discussions that can impact the quality of life for millions who suffer from obesity.

Obesity Week participants will benefit from the educational, networking and scientific synergies created through the collaboration of these international obesity organizations. Programming will cover the full interdisciplinary spectrum and feature the world's leading experts in their respective fields. A comprehensive agenda will include:

•Scientific sessions of both TOS and ASMBS

•Pre-conference Continuing Education

•Policy and public health discussions

•Co-sponsored programming and networking events

•Industry-sponsored symposia

In addition, Obesity Week will feature an exposition hall that is the largest of its kind, showcasing the newest, most innovative products, services and technologies from leading global companies and organizations.

Cancer in Africa: Bridging Science and Humanity
