ZFNs are a class of engineered D NA-binding proteins that facilitate targeted editing of the genome by crea ting double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA at user-specified locations. DSBs are important for site-specific mutagenesis in that they stimulate the cel l’s natural DNA-repair processes\, namely homologous recombination and non -homologous end joining. Using well-established and robust protocols\, the se cellular processes can be harnessed to generate precisely targeted geno mic edits resulting in cell lines\, including somatic cell lines\, with ta rgeted gene deletions (knockouts)\, integrations\, or modifications. Featu red lectures will provide in depth discussion on the fundamentals of ZFNs as well as cutting edge applications for targeted gene knockout\, integrat ion and tagging. Additionally\, each of the participants will conduct labo ratory exercises to become proficient in various techniques for ZFN delive ry\, identification of mutants\, and methods for quantitating ZFN efficien cy. Registrants should be familiar with basic mammalian cell culture techn iques\, PCR and cloning. \n\nFor further information and to register for t his course please follow the link to the events website:\nTargeted Genome Editing using Zinc Finger Nuclease DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20110509T170000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20110512T165959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:8th Annual BioMalPar Conference DTSTAMP:20110919T085749Z SEQUENCE:0 UID:38b9dcc5b0d18a104588e45be5de7463@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:The scientific aims of the network remain to address\, in an integrated\, collaborative manner\, fundamental questions of the biology of the malaria parasite\, its vector\, and the disease\, allowing optimal exploitation of the resulting knowledge to impact on public health.\n \nFo r further information and to register please visit: http://www.embl.de/t.. .2-01/index.html DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120514 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120517 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Biology and Pathology of the Malaria Parasite DTSTAMP:20120820T104049Z SEQUENCE:0 UID:2343876b5674dc6ca22417e75f81d98d@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION: 9th Annual BioMalPar I EVIMalaR Conference\n\nFor further i nformation\, please visit: http://www.embl.de/t...3-01/index.html DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130513 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130516 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:EMBO Conference Series - Chromatin and Epigenetics DTSTAMP:20101006T091240Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:65b077bb324b986eed0fcf4fe0cb9f1a@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:The main aim of this conference series is to present to a br oad community the cutting edge developments in chromatin and epigenetics a s they occur. Previous conferences of the series displayed one of the most exciting and steadily growing fields of research and provided an excellen t platform to bring together top researchers working with different model organisms and methodological approaches with young scientists at the begin ning of their career. In this tradition\, the organizers want to continue the 3rd and last conference in the series in 2011\, maintaining the basic structure but including topics that recently have proven relevant and frui tful.\n\nThe topics will include themes such as chromatin dynamics\, non-c oding RNAs\, reprogramming\, genomic stability as well as influence of env ironmental signals in regulation of complex regulatory networks.\n\nFurthe rmore\, while epigenetics and the core themes will still form the fundamen tal basis\, the connection of epigenetics with systems biology is still in its infancy. To answer one of the big epigenetic questions such as “plast icity versus stability” it is high time to also look with the eyes of syst ems biology as it offers great potential for future translational and medi cal research. The list of invited speakers has been extended to include le ading experts in functional genomics/systems biology that are also interes ted in the area of epigenetics.\n\nWe hope the conference will provide an ideal platform for interaction\, discussions and collaborations between th e two fields.\n\nOverall we aim to provide to the international community one of the scientific highlights of the year where mainstream results will be presented by international speakers\, complemented by poster presentat ions and talks selected among the submitted abstracts.\n\nFor more informa tion and to register please visit: http://www.embl.de/t...1-01/index.html DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20110531T170000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20110605T165959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Microtubules: Structure\, Regulation and Functions DTSTAMP:20111102T100304Z SEQUENCE:0 UID:c42cbfe4691bee085ab05baeb2ed7bcd@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:The aim of this conference at EMBL Heidelberg in Germany is the generation of an integrative perspective\nthat assembles different sci entific approaches around the microtubule field.\n \n \nFor further inform ation and to register please visit: http://www.embl.de/t...2-01/index.html DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120523 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120527 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Microinjection Techniques in Developmental Biology DTSTAMP:20101206T112741Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:231d13650424c8e5ac973836eb30dbe6@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:This course is aimed at Technicians and Scientists intereste d in transgenic animals or developmental biology using model organisms lik e fish\, frog or other non-mammalian embryos that have basic experience wi th eukaryotic cells and microscopy.\n\nAbout 40% of the course program cov ers lectures and tutorials on microinjection and corresponding microscopy techniques by experts in the field.

Instead\, many p roteins have a remarkable number of architecture modules - including long natively disordered segments and short linear motifs that are awkward to i nvestigate computationally and experimentally.\n\nThe course will set the scene by introducing the biological concepts behind these architecture mod ules and provide extensive hands-on application of the relevant bioinforma tics tools with appropriate example proteins. The power - but also the lim itations\, which remain substantial - of the currently available software will be examined. \n\n \n\nTopics:\n\n \; \; \; \;* Introd uction to Common Bioinformatic Tools (optional initial half day at no extr a cost)\n \; \; \; \;* Multiple Sequence Alignment\n \ ; \; \; \;* Protein-Protein Interaction Networks\n \;  \; \; \;* Predicting Globular Domains and Native Disorder DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20090118T160000Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:RNAi\, MicroRNAs -2009-Boston Meeting DTSTAMP:20090227T152106Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:9940040f587ca81ff7b8f6d68af80be8@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="bioforum":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:RNAi\, MicroRNAs -2009-Boston Meeting on RNA interference &a mp\; MicroRNAs: Biochemistry to Drugs &\; Therapeutics\n\nhttp://www.ex pressge...009/main09.html DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20090331T170000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20090402T165959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:EMBO Practical Course-Methods in Chemical Biology DTSTAMP:20101006T091044Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:3f0d32d68a1b39177234eed80d71d791@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:The goal of this course is to give an introduction to a broa d range of state-of-the-art chemical biology methods and to provide a foru m for active cross-communication.

While a few examples of translational regulation were known\, t hey were considered interesting exceptions to the general rule of regulati on at the level of RNA synthesis. However\, over the last few years it has become evident that several widespread posttranscriptional\, mostly cytop lasmic mechanisms have profound effects on gene expression. All of these m echanisms ultimately contribute to control protein synthesis\, either dire ctly\, by affecting the rate of translation\, or indirectly\, by affecting the abundance of mRNA. Some of them exert a qualitative\, all-or-none con trol\, for example by complete repression or elimination of certain mRNAs\ , others determine the intracellular location or the cell-type in which a particular RNA is translated\, and still others have a quantitative effect \, controlling the amount of protein made from a certain mRNA. The analysi s of some of the most exciting aspects of these cytoplasmic mechanisms of gene regulation is a major focus of this meeting. It is co-sponsored by th e DFG (FOR855) and EMBL Corporate Partnership Program.\nProgramme\n\nProgr amme:\n\nThursday 18 March 2010\n\n \; \; \; \;* 16:45 Reg istration\n \; \; \; \;* 18:45 - 19:00 Welcome Remarks\n&n bsp\; \; \; \;* 19:00 - 21:30 Synthesis and processing of mRNA \n\nFriday 19 March 2010\n\n \; \; \; \;* 09:00 - 10:30 Th e translation machinery and its regulation by proteins\n \; \;&nbs p\; \;* 10:30 - 11:00 Coffee Break\n \; \; \; \;* 11:0 0 - 12:30 The translation machinery and its regulation by proteins (cont)\ n \; \; \; \;* 12:30 - 14:00 Lunch Break\n \; \;&n bsp\; \;* 14:00 - 15:30 miRNAs: biogenesis and function\n \; \ ; \; \;* 15:30 - 16:00 Coffee Break\n \; \; \; \;* 16:00 - 17:30 miRNAs: biogenesis and function (cont)\n \; \;  \; \;* 17:30 - 19:30 Poster Session with Aperitif\n \; \;  \; \;* 20:00 Dinner \n\nSaturday 20 March 2010\n\n \; \; \ ; \;* 09:00 - 10:30 Translational regulation of Viruses and Bacteria\n  \; \; \; \;* 10:30 - 11:00 Coffee Break\n \; \;&n bsp\; \;* 11:00 - 12:30 Translational regulation of Viruses and Bacter ia (cont)\n \; \; \; \;* 12:30 - 13:00 Lunch Break\n \ ; \; \; \;* 14:00 - 15:30 RNA Turnover\n \; \; \;& nbsp\;* 15:30 - 16:00 Coffee Break\n \; \; \; \;* 16:00 - 17:30 RNA Turnover (cont)\n \; \; \; \;* 17:30 - 19:30 Pos ter Session with Aperitif\n \; \; \; \;* 20:00 Gala Dinner \n\nInvited Speakers:\n\nElena Conti\, Max Planck Institute of Biochemistr y\, Germany\nPatrick Cramer\, University of Munich\, Germany\nAnne Ephruss i\, EMBL Heidelberg\, Germany\nWitold Filipowicz\, Friedrich Miescher Inst itute\, Switzerland\nUlrike Gaul\, University of Munich\, Germany\nFatima Gebauer \, CRG (Centre for Genomic Regulation)\, Spain\nMatthias Gromeier \, Duke University\, USA\nAlan Hinnebusch\, National Institutes of Health\ , USA\nRalf Jansen\, University of Tübingen\, Germany\nJens Lykke-Andersen \, University of California San Diego\, USA\nRaul Mendez\, CRG (Centre fo r Genomic Regulation)\, Spain\nKarla Neugebauer\, Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics\, Germany\nDinshaw Patel\, Sloan-Kette ring Institute\, USA\nSébastien Pfeffer\, University of Strasbourg\, Franc e\nTom Pieler\, University of Göttingen\, Germany\nPeter Sarnow\, Stanford University\, USA\nRobert Singer\, Yeshiva University\, USA\nMikiko Siomi\ , Keio University\, Japan\nNahum Sonenberg\, McGiIl University\, Canada\nB ertrand Séraphin \, CNRS\, France\nDavid Tollervey \, University of Edinbu rgh\, United Kingdom\nJörg Vogel\, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biol ogy\, Germany DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20100317T170000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20100320T165959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Seeing is Believing – Imaging the Processes of Lif DTSTAMP:20101006T090708Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:4160431d5b5aeb6d85e5c84233f4712a@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:The processes of life are naturally dynamic in space and tim e from the molecular to the organismal level.

EMBL is funded by public research monies from 20 member states - Austria\, Belgium\, Croatia\, Denmark\, Finland\, France\, Germa ny\, Greece\, Iceland\, Ireland\, Israel\, Italy\, Luxembourg\, the Nether lands\, Norway\, Portugal\, Spain\, Sweden\, Switzerland and the United Ki ngdom and an associate member state\, Australia.\n\nAdvanced Training is o ne of the core missions of the EMBL since its creation in 1974. Aiming at the promotion of excellence in modern life sciences and providing valuable services to its Member States and the international scientific community\ , EMBL has build a tradition and extensive expertise in organising and hos ting advanced conferences\, courses and workshops.\n\nMicrotubules are of fundamental importance for an extraordinary variety of essential processes in all eukaryotic cells. In the 1980s\, advances in light microscopy and the discovery of motor proteins catalyzed the expansion of microtubule cyt oskeleton research. In the 1990s the discovery of GFP revolutionized the v isualization of dynamic cytoskeletal processes inside cells. Over the year s and especially recently due to the advent of proteomics\, many nteractor s of microtubules have been identified and we are approaching an exciting phase where complete knowledge of the components of the microtubule cytosk eleton appears within reach. Therefore\, the focus of microtubule cytoskel eton research is moving from identification of components\, their characte rization in isolation\, the consequences of loss of function for intracell ular organization and dynamics towards a truly mechanistic description of the entire microtubule system and its regulation.\n\nTo achieve a systems- wide understanding of microtubule cytoskeleton behaviour requires a combin ation of different disciplines including biochemistry\, biophysics\, struc tural biology and mathematical modeling\, and to exchange concepts develop ed in different scientific communities like in cell and developmental biol ogy.\n\nThis conference aims at providing an overview of contemporary micr otubule cytoskeleton research at all complexity levels\, from atomic resol ution to entire organisms and will be structured as follows:\n\n(1) Molecu les interacting with microtubules\;\n\n(2) Complex microtubule arrays and cell architecture\;\n\n(3) Microtubules in developmental processes and in differentiated structures.\n\nThe main objective of the conference is to b ring together established scientists with young researchers from all over the world that have recently made exciting contributions to the microtubul e field. The broad spectrum of interdisciplinary research approaches that will be represented will provide a unique platform and create a stimulatin g atmosphere encouraging not only the exchange of new discoveries\, but al so of novel emerging concepts beyond the limits of traditional disciplines .\n\n\nFor a full list of EMBL events\, please visit our website DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20100601T170000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20100605T165959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:C. elegans: Development and Gene Expression DTSTAMP:20100203T003352Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:1e9474e7244ba4841bbde7753d4d0ef5@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:Thursday 17 June - Sunday 20 June 2010\n\nEMBL Heidelberg\, Germany\n\nevent website\n\nThis topic meeting on C. elegans Development a nd Gene Expression will focus on the following areas:\n\n \; \;&nb sp\; \;* Germline\, meiosis &\; sex determination\n \; \;&n bsp\; \;* Cell polarity and cell division\n \; \; \; \ ;* Cytoskeleton\, Morphogenesis\, Organelles\n \; \; \; \; * Signalling and post-embryonic development\n \; \; \; \;* Genomics and Transcription\n \; \; \; \;* Post-transcript ional and RNA-mediated regulation\n\nEach platform session will focus on o ne area and begin with a Keynote speaker recognized in that area.

Developmental biology and neurobiology are but two prominen t examples that have added to the interest in translational control even b efore the arrival of small non-coding RNAs. MicroRNAs in particular now de fine a new frontier in gene expression\, and will be a central topic to be discussed within the conference series.\nWith the increasing appreciation for the integration between different steps in the gene expression pathwa y\, the conference series will also explore the latest work on the interfa ces between translational control and mRNA turnover\, RNA localization and splicing/nonsense-mediated decay.\n\nA major ambition of this conference series is to continue to promote integration and communication between exp erts in the field of translation with those from a scientifically intertwi ned field where "\;meeting traditions"\; of the past have somewhat diverged: the structure and function of the ribosome. This integration wa s started very successfully during the 2005 and 2007 conferences and promi ses to help foster more and more fruitful interactions. Progress in the ri bosome field has been nothing short spectacular\, getting us within Angstr oms of understanding some of the most central processes in biology: protei n synthesis\, decoding\, peptide bond formation and the function of antibi otics.\n\nFinally\, our understanding of the biochemistry and genetics of translation initiation\, elongation and termination is progressing rapidly \, and the latest findings regarding these processes will feature prominen tly within the conference series\, laying the groundwork for understanding regulation and the numerous biological contexts for which it is critical. \n\nTopics\n\n1) Translation initiation\n2) Translation elongation and ter mination\n3) mRNA stability and nonsense-mediated decay\n4) Structure and function of the ribosome\n5) Translation in development and the CNS\n6) Tr anslation factors &\; complexes\, and their function in health and dise ase\n7) Non-coding RNAs in translation\n\nInvited Speakers\n\nJamie Cate\, UC Berkeley\, USA\nElena Conti\, MPI Martinsried\, Germany\nWitek Filipow icz\, FMI Basel\, Switzerland\nFatima Gebauer\, Centre for Genomic Regulat ion\, Spain\nTerry Goss - Kinzy\, UMDNJ\, Piscataway\, USA\nChristine Holt \, University of Cambridge\, United Kingdom\nJon Lorsch\, Johns Hopkins\, Baltimore\, USA\n\nKeynote Speakers\n\nDavid Bartel\, Whitehead Institute\ , USA\nJudith Kimble\, University of Wisconsin\, USA\nReinhard Luehrmann\, MPI Goettingen\, Germany DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20090908T170000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20090913T165959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Structure and Function of Neural Circuits DTSTAMP:20100209T223157Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:1ea2697bfebb0f5dfb2979a567137c72@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:Structure and Function of Neural Circuits\n\nEMBL Advanced T raining Centre\, Heidelberg\, Germany \n\nSunday 5 September - Wednesday 8 September 2010\n\nevent website\n\nRegistration deadline: 13 June 2010\, first-come\, first-served\n\nUnderstanding the complexity and functional c omposition of cellular and synaptic networks in the nervous system is a ma jor challenge in neurobiology.

This is causing difficulties fo r researchers as they try to move beyond overly simplified models of regul atory systems throughout the cell. It is critical that they learn to appre ciate\, analyse\, and characterise the modular complexity of the proteins they study\; understanding protein function is central to analysis of any cellular system\, and protein modular architecture specifies protein funct ion\, Protein modules (e.g. globular domains\, coiled-coil regions\, linea r motifs)\, their structure\, diversity\, interactions\, and direct experi ence using bioinformatic tools for characterising and predicting them\, ar e the principal themes of the course - explored with a focus on cell regul atory proteins\, which display exceptional modular diversity. In particula r\, in this course we will highlight the importance of intrinsically disor dered protein (IDP) modules- given the burgeoning awareness of the key rol es they play in diverse cellular systems\, especially in regulation and si gnaling.\n\nThe principal objective is to improve the ability of the parti cipants to use bioinformatics tools to analyse and predict modular protein architecture - while additionally improving their understanding of module diversity and the theoretical basis of analysis methods. This will improv e the participants'\; ability to critically interpret and apply relevan t techniques to their studies and those of others. Additionally\, we aim t o raise awareness of several fundamental bioinformatics concepts and ideas important for understanding more specialised tools and applications\, whi le providing direct experience using key software including SMART\, CLUSTA LX\, BLAST\, JalView\, PFAM\, ELM\, STRING\, REFLECT\, IUPRED\, PhosphoELM and others. This will help participants to transfer what they learn durin g the course back to their own labs. We will also enable direct personal a ccess to developers of several commonly used tools - providing definitive advice on problems and questions the students may have understanding and u sing the software\, while facilitating future contacts between teachers an d participants.\n\nPractical sessions during the course will focus on deve loping the student’s familiarity and expertise in using the most commonly used software tools for analysis of protein modular architecture. The deve lopers of several of these packages will be attending the meeting (Alex Ba teman - PFAM\; Toby Gibson - ELM\, CLUSTALX\, Zsuzsanna Dosztanyi and Pete r Tompa: IUPRED\; Michael Yaffe: ScanSite\; Francesca Diella: PhosphoELM\; Lars Juhl Jensen: STRING\, STITCH\, REFLECT). Thus\, students will have t he opportunities to address any questions they may have concerning these s oftware directly to the developers.\n\nAdditionally\, practicals will focu s on developing the participants understanding of several key concepts inc luding: statistics of sequence similarity search tools\; approaches to tex t-based database-searches\; interpretation of sequence alignments\; protei n 3D structure. Other practical sessions (those on the first day) will foc us on familiarizing the participants with the computational environment pr ovided on the teaching machines (which will be running LINUX).\n\nThe part icipants are expected to present a poster of their work. The posters will be available for viewing throughout the entire meeting. More details about the poster presentation will be given to the selected participants.

Precisely coordinated chan ges in cellular behavior determine the shape and size of organs forming du ring embryogenesis. In adult organisms\, dynamic changes in tissue organiz ation underlie wound healing and regeneration\, while a loss thereof is a hallmark of cancer. Therefore\, studies addressing tissue dynamics in embr yos or cultured multicellular systems will have a great impact on our unde rstanding of medically important processes.\n\nTraditionally\, development al biologists have studied such processes using a global\, static readout at the organism level. By contrast\, cell biologists have a tradition of s tudying dynamic aspects of cell machinery using isolated cells in an artif icial environment. It is clear however\, that in order to understand the m orphogenesis and dynamics of multicellular systems these two disciplines h ave to merge. Furthermore\, as many aspects of morphogenesis involve physi cal mechanisms\, such as force generation or modulating tension\, it is de sirable to include biophysical approaches when addressing morphogenesis. T his means computer based experimental approaches such as simulations will play an increasingly important role in this field.\n\nThe combination of n ew imaging-\, computer- and experimental manipulation technologies now pro vide opportunities for cell biologists to study dynamic cellular machines in the context of the intact developing embryo. These technologies also al low investigating biophysical aspects of development such as the role and distribution of forces\, for example during gastrulation\, when multiple t issues move and form simultaneously. Developmental biology\, cell biology and biophysics as a consequence are rapidly becoming intertwined and it is this inter-disciplinarity that the meeting intends to foster. Special car e will be taken to select speakers from diverse fields of research at the interface between the three disciplines. The focus will be on global aspec ts of collective cell behavior rather than on molecular details.\n\nA cent ral technology enabling such interdisciplinary research is real time imagi ng of fluorescent reporters in whole tissues or even in the living\, intac t organism. This not only has the advantage of providing a realistic conte xt but also enables quantification of tissue dynamics. Another important e merging technology is computer simulations\, which allow mathematically ex ploring tissue behavior. Because both technologies are rapidly evolving a session will be dedicated to presenting and discussing the latest technolo gical advances in combination with a panel discussion on how to integrate and optimize such technologies.\n\nTopics\n1. Cell Surface Mechanics\n2. C ollective Migration\n3. Organ Morphogenesis\n4. Cancer as a Morphogenetic Process\n5. Increasing and Decreasing Order within Tissues\n6.

Despite these spectacular progresses we still largely don’t understand how cellula r components work collectively and achieve biological function. Understand ing the molecular mechanisms of biological function largely relies on the systematic charting of the dynamics interactions taking place between the various components of living cells. Recent “OMICS” technologies contribute large biological networks covering entire proteomes. These networks are g enerally static as they fail to capture spatial and temporal dimensions th at represent essential properties of living systems. Mechanistic and dynam ic insights often come from focused smaller-scale approaches\, such as tho se used in structural biology\, biophysics or cell biology. The meeting wi ll bring together leading scientists from the “OMICS” field with leading s tructural and cell biologists\, for the main purpose of discussing scienti fic issues arising at the interface of these complementary fields. The gen eral aim of the symposium is to explore the possible synergisms and cross- talk between the large-scale and classical approaches to biological networ ks and review/investigate possible avenue to more generally populate curre nt networks with dynamics and mechanistic insights that will ensure high l evels of biological understanding and contributes deciphering fundamental principles. \; \;\n\nSessions:\n\nSignalling Networks and Circuits – Information networks\n \; \; \; \;\nStructure-Based Net works\n \; \; \; \;\nMultiscale analysis and integration o f Cellular Networks\n\nFrom Quantitative Network to Cell Biology – Cell Bi ology of Protein Networks\n\nIf you are interested in receiving more infor mation please follow the link below and subscribe to our mailing list.\nht tp://www.embo-embl...1-03/index.html DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20111012T170000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20111015T165959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:EMBO|EMBL Symposia Germline DTSTAMP:20120221T113303Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:817a469c948bf0bfc9ca39a01e54ef5d@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:Conference website: http://www.embo-embl...2-04/index.html\n \nSummary\n \nWhat does immortality mean at the molecular\, cellular\, tr ansgenerational and evolutionary level?\n \nMost organisms have a defined lifespan\, however life of a species continues and evolves via germline fr om generation to generation.

The methodological meta genomics challenges from sampling to the development of integrated resourc es and data management will be approached by a combination of lecture and practical sessions. Metagenomics is a field positioned at the intersection of many disciplines. The methodological\, technical and theoretical wealt h arising from such complex and dynamic field make up the biggest challeng es in metagenomics\, which are plenty and at many different levels in the metagenomics workflow. This course will expose the participants to these c hallenges at all levels of metagenomics workflow. This is a specific cours e devoted to bring the key players in the field of metagenomics from bench to data analysis together with early-stage experimental researchers and i s interesting to anyone involved or embarking into this field. It provides a unique opportunity to catalyse lasting interactions between experimenta l and computational researchers. It will allow experimental biologists to gain confidence and research skills that they would otherwise have little opportunity to develop\, and will enable computational systems biologists to gain first-hand experience of the challenges experimentalists encounter when using computational approaches.\n\nFor further information and to re gister for this conference please follow the link below to the events webs ite:\nMetagenomics: From the Bench to the Data Analysis DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20111022T170000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20111029T165959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis DTSTAMP:20101206T110408Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:f96f0250734ca3ce8c76160753938a33@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="EMBL":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:For further information and to register for this course plea se follow the below to the events website:\nNext Generation Sequencing Dat a Analysis DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20111024T170000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20111026T165959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Overcoming chaos: Networks in Lifescience DTSTAMP:20120405T082759Z SEQUENCE:0 UID:68cbed7241d5b858beb9d7819213e127@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="emblphd2011":bbs@protocol-online.org ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://www.protocol-online.org/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=3853 DESCRIPTION:\n14th EMBL PhD Symposium\n\nThe theme of the 2012 EMBL PhD symposium is biological complexity. The past 20 years have seen a massive increase in the volume of biological data. Molecules and cells once studie d in isolation are now being analyzed as components of genomes\, proteomes \, pathways and tissues. By analyzing interactions within and between such datasets\, researchers are uncovering emergent\, systems-level properties that cannot be seen from the perspective of individual molecules. Underst anding complex biological systems requires a biology that is integrative\, yet predictive and rigorous. Our symposium will feature talks by PhD stud ents and Investigators whose work is exactly that.\n\nThe symposium will c omprise three sessions. Our first day will focus on genomics. The attempt to interpret the ever-increasing tide of genomic data requires the integra tion not only of disparate biological fields\, but also cross-field collab oration. Our speakers will represent experts from both the public and priv ate sector and will discuss recent advances in\, and the future implicatio ns of\, genomics technology for research and society at large. Our second day will focus on proteomics\, a field undergoing a parallel revolution of its own. Our speakers will discuss developments in the field with applica tions ranging from research and synthetic biology to medical diagnosis. Fi nally\, our last day will focus on attempts to model even higher-level sys tems such as the regulatory networks and cell-cell interactions that deter mine cell fate in development. Our speakers will discuss the value of the systems approach in these high level systems\, and the challenges to be ov ercome in applying it.\n\nwebsite: http://phdsymposium.embl.org/\n\ncontac t: phdsymposium2012@embl.de\n\nvenue: EMBL Heidelberg\,Meyerhofstrasse 1 \ , Heidelberg 69117\, Germany\n\nregistration deadline: 6th Sept 2012\n\nCo nfirmed speakers:\n\nV.A Shiva Ayyadurai\nEugenia Piddini\nRudolf Aebersol d\nRichard Durbin\nDagmar Iber\nJuri Rappsilber\nAndreas Schuppert\nAmos B airoch DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20121025 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20121028 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ixth International ‘MicroRNAs &\; Single Molecule Bi DTSTAMP:20110805T192157Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:0e301938bd2a0edff2e67af07d46e73c@198.23.74.216 ORGANIZER;CN="appasani":bbs@protocol-online.org DESCRIPTION:November 01-02\, 2011: Sixth International ‘MicroRNAs &\; Single Molecule Biology Europe-2011 Meeting’Meeting on ‘MicroRNAs: Biolog y to Development and Disease’ &\; ‘Molecular Imaging to Single Molecule Analysis’ \nVenue: Peterhouse\, University of Cambridge\, Cambridge\, UK\ nContact: \; \;GeneExpression Systems\, Inc.

Scientists ar e often inspired by the imaginative possibilities introduced in the world of fantasy\, and vice versa: real scientific discoveries often shape the c reations of science fiction writers. Even though scientists – unlike scien ce fiction writers – are bound by the laws of nature\, the inventions of t he fictional world sometimes cross over to reality through their persisten t work. This poses the question: where is the borderline between fiction a nd fact\, fantasy and reality today? And where will it be in the near futu re?\n\nThese are the issues we will address during the 12th EMBL PhD sympo sium – "\;From Science Fiction to Science Fact: What'\;s next?" \;.\n\nThe current boundaries in different fields of life sciences will be investigated\, in light of how past frontiers have been overturned. World -renowned speakers will be invited to share their ideas on latest technolo gical breakthroughs\, achievements and future developments with the young generation of scientists. We will explore a diverse array of topics rangin g from structural and cell biology to biophysics and medicine. Participant s will also have the opportunity to present and discuss their own work in poster sessions and selected short talk segments.\n\nWe aim to provide you ng researchers from different international research institutes with an op portunity to interact with leading scientists in an informal and relaxed e nvironment.\n\n\n\nThe European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is a l eading institute for research in molecular life sciences and the annual In ternational EMBL PhD student symposium in Heidelberg is an outstanding eve nt in the scientific world. For this event\, every autumn over the past 11 years\, EMBL gathers young researchers from numerous scientific institute s\, mostly graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Previous symposia c overed many interesting topics\, including decision making in biology\, ne urobiology and patterns in biology.\n\nThe organisers are proud to announc e the 12th EMBL PhD Symposium "\;From Science Fiction to Science Fact: What'\;s next?"\;\, which will take place in Heidelberg\, Germany on 21-23 October 2010. Join us for a unique experience of a student-led sy mposium complemented by participation of the world'\;s renowned scienti sts.

The main question to be addresse d by the workshop is how animal models can best be used to discover treatm ents for behavioral disorders\, including mental illness. Although animal models are powerful tools to identify the neurobiological mechanisms under lying behavior\, too few researchers are trying to directly bridge the gap between human behavior and homologous behaviors in lower animals. In some cases animal behavior and human behavior appear similar and may share com mon molecular mechanisms\; however\, many human behaviors remain only dist antly homologous to animal behaviors and common mechanisms are controversi al.\n\nAt the same time\, behavioral research is receiving renewed attenti on in the light of an explosion in the generation of mouse models of genet ic diseases. However\, the behavioral characterization of these models lag s behind their molecular characterization\, with little attention being fo cused on how best to match human behavioral deficits relevant to the disea se. Psychiatrists are also increasingly incorporating quantitative behavio ral measurements into their research as part of a movement to identify beh avioral endophenotypes of mental illness that are more reliable than tradi tional diagnostic criteria. Significant research funds are being funneled into behavioral research on rodent models while the value of these models to identify new therapies often remains unproven. Our workshop aims to tak e advantage of the increasing interest in behavior among both clinical and basic researchers to help ensure the best possible use of animal models.\ n\nThe workshop will try to cover a range of commonly studied behaviors re levant to human disease\, including anxiety\, impulsivity\, and aggression \, but also more controversial topics such as depression\, schizophrenia\, autism\, and attachment.

This well-established conference series brings tog ether a wide range of scientists\, philosophers\, science communicators\, policy makers\, and members of the public in engaging debate.\n\nIn total\ , four sessions with keynote talks and panel discussions are planned for t he two days at the 2010 conference. The first day will be set aside for pr esenting and discussing questions relevant to the evolution of sexual repr oduction\, as well as to the development of sex specific traits. For this purpose we are inviting leading scientists to present their field of resea rch\, including their own work\, to a mixed audience of scientists and non -scientists. Talks in each session will be followed by panel discussions a round questions relating to the difference between the sexes from various perspectives.\n\nIn the first session of the second day at the meeting the attention will turn to comparative research on sex differences in brain a nd behavior of various species. Finally\, in the fourth and the last sessi on of the conference we will reexamine the relationship between innate ver sus acquired sexual characteristics in humans\, and attempt to assess some familiar questions of differences between the sexes in the light of new k nowledge emerging from the life sciences in recent years. As with the past EMBL/EMBO Science and Society conferences\, our overall aim is to promote a constructive dialogue between a wide range of professionals and members of the public.
