2nd International Conference on Life Science & Biological Engineering (LS&BE 2013)

7-9 November, 2013 Osaka, Japan

The 2nd International Conference on Life Science & Biological Engineering (LS&BE 2013) will be held in Osaka, Japan during November 7-9, 2013. The aim objective of LS&BE 2013 is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in Networking and Digital Society. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.

15th EMBL PhD Symposium: Competition in Biology - The Race for Survival From Molecules to Systems

21-23 November 2013 Heidelberg, Germany

From enzyme catalysis to ecosystems dynamics, biology is riddled with competition. DNA sequences compete for transcription factor binding to be expressed, cells in communities often compete for resources, pathogens compete against host immune systems, and on a larger scale, organisms compete against each other for limited resources in their environment.

The 15th EMBL PhD Symposium (21-23 November 2013), entitled 'Competition in Biology - The Race for Survival from Molecules to Systems', addresses this.

The Symposium is an annual event, organised by first-year PhD students at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany. It brings together fellow students from around the world, for a 3-day series of talks by leading experts but also by students themselves. Networking opportunities, poster sessions and workshops are also included in the programme.

Biological competition offers an exciting and fresh perspective on the life sciences. The 2013 Symposium is timely in contextualising biological competition as a fundamental concept from the biomolecular to the systems level.

11th International Conference on Biology and Synchrotron Radiation (BSR)

European Molecular Biology Laboratory Hamburg, Germany Sunday 8 September - Wednesday 11 September 2013

The International Biology and Synchrotron Radiation (BSR) meetings are held every three years with the aim of presenting and discussing state of the art applications in relevant research fields.They have a long-standing record since the first meeting in Frascati, Italy in 1986. Subsequent meetings were held at sites at or near the most advanced light souce facilities around the world, with the last BSR meeting taking place in Melbourne, Australia, in 2010.

Aims

The principal objective of the proposed meeting and series will be to provide a forum bringing together the scientists involved in the methodical developments on synchrotron and laser sources with a broad community of biologists having an ambition to make the best use of the most advanced infrastructures in structural biology.

Topics

Biological small angle X-ray scattering
Macromolecular X-ray crystallography
Biological X-ray imaging and spectroscopy
Biological sample preparation
Free electron laser applications
Synchrotron instrumentation
Structural biology hybrid methods
Industrial applications
Ultimate storage rings

X-rays belong to the most powerful physical instruments in life sciences allowing to elucidate the structure of biological objects at atomic, molecular and cellular level. We would like to use this conference as an opportunity to substantially expand the scientific scope of the conference from a predominantly technically one to a more biologically oriented one. This will allow one to tackle new challenges in structural biology, which will further extend into even larger structures from multi-component macromolecular complexes, performing most important cellular functions.

Who should attend
The BSR conference is unique in scope by being the only event specifically bringing together a broad life science-oriented research community and a more technically synchrotron/laser scientists’ community worldwide.

Scientists at all possible career levels are invited to this meeting - ranging from graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and principal investigators from both academia and industry. There will be ample opportunities for individual presentations.

14th EMBO | EMBL Science and Society Conference Public and Private Health – Genomics, Medicine and Society

European Molecular Biology Laboratory Heidelberg, Germany Thursday 7 November - Friday 8 November 2013

Aims of event
The main aim of these joint meetings is to present important areas of life science research in a manner accessible to all, and to promote reflection on their implications. At the same time, they should facilitate a broad dialogue between biologists, behavioral and social scientists, students of all disciplines, and members of the public. 

Who Should Attend

Everyone is welcome to attend.
