EMBO Worshop
Proteolysis and Neurodegeneration
(5th INPROTEOLYS meeting) |
|
| |
Protein destruction determines a wide variety of cellular functions in the CNS. Dysfunctions of these processes are at the origin of many pathologies including most neurodegenerative diseases. Parkinson, Alzheimer and Huntington diseases represent the largest proportion of fatal ailments for mankind, and the three of them have no cure at present. During this meeting, subjects related to the role of proteolysis in normal and degenerated neuronal processes will be discussed. In particular protein destruction by autophagy and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathways will be covered in this symposium. The selected speakers are international experts in the field at the zenith of their professional careers. In addition, the event has been designed to attract young researchers giving them the opportunity to develop long term links with their peers. Also, the program is oriented towards the in-depth debate of frontier issues and the development of new strategies. In this way, we expect to contribute to the consolidation of this relevant field whose clinical implications have a wide social interest.

Workshop Venue
The Ramon Areces Foundation is a non-profit organisation created in 1976 to broadly encourage scientific and technical research in Spain, as well as education and culture in general, values that the institution considers to be the main driving forces for progress and modernity in society. The institution carries out activities throughout the whole of Spain in the fields of life and material sciences, and social sciences and humanities, areas in which it promotes scientific research, contributes to training human resources and disseminates knowledge. The institution has its own programme for each of these areas: National competitions for research aid; scholarships for postgraduate studies abroad; and scientific, socio-economic and cultural dissemination programmes. |

Madrid is a surprising and a fascinating city famous for its zest for life. Architecturally is a incredible city to explore and take in the atmosphere, especially around the Old Madrid of the Habsburgs including Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. Culturally, the art scene is right up there with the Prado remaining the city's major cultural attraction and Picasso's 'Guernica' in the Reina-Sofia being the number one exhibit. Madrid is also a great place to see the traditional Spanish arts. For more information please visit the following links:

ZOMES VI

ABOUT ZOMES
The ZOMES meetings were initiated in 1999 with ZOMES I, which was held in Israel (get more info). ZOMES VI, which will be held in October 2010 in Israel (http://www.weizmann.ac.il/conferences/ZOMESVI/). This international meeting is apart of an International series that focuses on the three "PCI" complexes, the proteasome, the COP9 signalosome, and eIF3. In the coming meeting we would like to broaden the field and highlight additional associated complexes that contain so called "orphaned PCI subunits" or interact with the three canonical Zomes. Your work on Proteasome would fit perfectly with these topics and objectives. The previous Zomes meetings (I - V) took place in Israel, Turkey, Germany, USA, Japan, and now Zomes VI is back in
Israel in the historical and exotic city of Safed. For Zomes VI we have a very nice line up of confirmed speakers, with more to come from abstracts and registrants. We are very fortunate to have two Nobel Laureate ZOME researchers for the opening talks which will be part of the banquet dinner (Avram Hershko and Ada Yonath).
We have defined the “Spirit of Zomes” that is important for all ZOMES meetings:
1. Interdisciplinary: Plants, Mammals, yeast, flies etc are all represented
2. Dynamic: We aim to have new speakers and novel approaches showon in each meeting. We are NOT a standard uniqutin meeting, but rather go a step beyond ubiqutingation to understand the complexity involved in PCI biology.
3. Affordabale: We subsidize students, almost fully, and not PI’s who usually have their own travel funds.
4. Interactive: Zomes are small (~110) and plenty of time is left for poster sessions and social interaction (where most of the real science happens!)
ABOUT THIS MEETING
The goal of our symposia is to bring together researchers from diverse fields, who normally have no venue to meet, in order to initiate joint efforts for studying the functioning of these complexes. ZOMES meetings are unique in that scientists such cancer researchers and plant scientists interact freely and exchange ideas, providing a forum for cross-fertilization which is absent in most specialized meetings. |

Conference Venue
Safed is a unique and hilly town marked by centuries of history. The hallmarks of Safed include its cobblestone streets and archways, artists’ galleries, and ancient synagogues. Safed is well known for the great Kabballists (Jewish mystics) who thrived there in the past. Lectures will be held at the Safed Academic College. Participants will be housed at the Rimonim Hotel, a few minutes walking distance to the college and a few minutes from the artist's quarter and the old part of town with its many synagogues. |

This Biochemical Society (BS) focused meeting was the result of a collaboration with the INPROTEOLYS network. Thanks to the BS this type of culturally and scientifically interesting meetings are possible. The impression collected from most delegates who attended this meeting could not be any better, so we encourage the BS to continue with their contribution to develop high quality science communication in Europe through collaborations with other scientific societies.
The organisers would like to thank the local authorities of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans and Societat Catalana de Biologia, the Spanish Ministry of Science (MICINN), the Biochemical Society, the Spanish National Research Council and Portland Press Editorial office for their tremendous support to organise this meeting, in particular, to Laura Argente (from Manners, in charge of the technical secretariat) and to Silvia Rabar (from the Biochemical Society) for their strong commitment with the organization.
