Molecular Biology Conference

5th Annual DREAM Reverse Engineering Challenges

November 16 - 20, 2010 5th Annual DREAM Reverse Engineering Challenges
New York, USA Further information
Held jointly with the 6th Annual RECOMB Satellite on Systems Biology, and the 7th Annual RECOMB Satellite on Regulatory Genomics. The goal of the meeting is to bring together computational and experimental scientists in the area of regulatory genomics and systems biology, to discuss current research directions, latest findings, and establish new collaborations towards a systems-level understanding of gene regulation. The meeting consists of keynote presentations, oral presentations selected from submitted manuscripts and 1-page abstracts, and posters presentations also selected from submitted abstracts. More than 500 participants attended last year\'s meeting, the vast majority of whom attended all three meetings, and we expect a similar interest this year.

ESF-EMBO Symposium on Molecular Perspectives on Protein-Protein Interactions

November 14 - 19, 2010 ESF-EMBO Symposium on Molecular Perspectives on Protein-Protein Interactions
Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain Further information
The conference aims to gather scientists from molecular cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics and bioinformatics with the common interest to explore the immensely important field of protein-protein interactions. The particular focus of the conference will be on molecular aspects of protein-protein interactions. Topics will include theory and computation, thermodynamics & kinetics, intrinsically unstructured protein complexes, PPI in disease and drug development, protein interaction networks, signaling complexes, membrane protein complexes, emerging and single molecule techniques, evolution and design as well as large multi-protein complexes. Fundamental and applied problems in these fields will be discussed from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Conference: Transcription and Chromatin

August 28 - 30, 2010 Transcription and Chromatin
Heidelberg, Germany Further information
9th EMBL Conference. Transcription and Chromatin. EMBL Courses and Conferences. Understanding the complexity and functional composition of cellular and synaptic networks in the nervous system is a major challenge in neurobiology. Genes and molecules impact directly the assembly, function, and plasticity of specific neural circuits, and recent studies in different model systems start to elucidate the functionality of neuronal connectomes as an higher organisational entity required for the generation of complex behaviours. The goal of this Symposium is to highlight recent work on the anatomical and functional analysis of behaviourally-relevant neural circuits in genetically tractable model systems, and to promote the exchange of ideas and methods in this exciting field of research.
