Albany 2007: The 15th Conversation

描述：2007年奥尔巴尼：第15次对话将于2007年6月19-23日在州立大学举行。纽约的奥尔巴尼分校。晚上的主旨演讲将由麻省理工学院的诺贝尔奖获得者菲利普·A·夏普关于si和mi RNA以及诺贝尔奖获得者哈特穆特·米歇尔关于呼吸链复合体的演讲。对话将涵盖下列结构生物学领域的最新进展：肿瘤抑制蛋白P53及其伙伴蛋白；生物分子机器；进化：寻找圣杯；金属配位和热连接DNA；创新；RNA：催化、结构、相互作用和动力学；创新：对医学的新影响；DNA：不仅仅是生命的秘密-DNA纳米技术；结构基因组学；生物信息学和结构计算的进展；DNA结构基序、疾病和死亡：真实或纸牌屋？；蛋白质-蛋白质识别：活细胞核磁共振、病毒Avatara和信号转导；通道、膜蛋白和信号转导。这些主题将通过特邀讲座和海报讨论论文来涵盖。共有74场讲座，其中资深科学家48场，青年研究人员26场。年轻研究人员(研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师)的演讲将基于从提交给海报演示的摘要中挑选出来的内容。5.5小时的专题讨论会时间将留出，直到收到海报摘要，以便可以从摘要中选择大量的讲座。提交的海报数量将为250张。在总共74场演讲中，至少有20场将由女性科学家发表。该计划将接纳来自20多个国家的约400名科学家。其中几个会议，如肿瘤抑制蛋白P53和伙伴蛋白，金属配位和热连接DNA，创新：医学的新含义，DNA结构基序，疾病和死亡，病毒Avataras，通道和信号转导，直接涉及分子疾病，以及如何设计治疗和管理它们的方法。剩下的主题着眼于医学生物化学基本领域的进展，这里的进展将对我们未来管理疾病的方式产生深远影响，包括衰老和癌症。

DESCRIPTION: Albany 2007: The 15th Conversation will be held in June 19-23 2007 at the State Univ. of New York at Albany. The Keynote evening lectures will be delivered by Nobel Laureate Philip A. Sharp of MIT on si and mi RNAs and by Nobel Laureate Hartmut Michel on respiratory chain complexes. The Conversation will cover the following current developments in the following areas of structural biology: Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 & Partner Proteins; Biomolecular Machines; Evolution: In Search of the Holy Grail; Metal Coordination and Hot Wired DNA; Innovations; RNA: Catalysis, Structure, Interactions and Dynamics; Innovations: New Implications for Medicine; DNA: Not Merely the Secret of Life - DNA Nanotechnology; Structural Genomics; Progress in Bioinformatics and Structural Computing; DNA Structural Motif, Disease and Death: Real or House of Cards?; Protein-Protein Recognition: Living Cell NMR, Virus Avatara & Signaling; Channels, Membrane Proteins & Signal Transduction. The subjects will be covered by invited lectures and poster discussion papers. There will be a total of 74 lectures, 48 by senior scientists and 26 by young researchers. Lectures by young researchers (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and starting faculty) will be based on selection from abstracts submitted for poster presentation. 5.5 hours of the symposium time will be left vacant until abstracts for posters are received so that a significant number of lectures can be selected from the abstracts. The number of posters presented will be 250. Out of a total of 74 talks, a minimum of 20 will be delivered by female scientists. The program will admit some 400 scientists from over 20 Nations. Several of the sessions, such as Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 & Partner Proteins, Metal Coordination and Hot Wired DNA, Innovations: New Implications for Medicine, DNA Structural Motif, Disease and Death, Virus Avataras, Channels and Signal Transduction, deal directly with molecular diseases, and how one devises approaches to cure and manage them. The remaining topics look at advances in fundamental areas of medical biochemistry, and progress here will have profound impact on the way we will manage disease, including aging and cancer, in the future.
