World Biotechnology Congress 2013
2013-06-03 to 2013-06-06
Boston, MA, USA

This unique international conference provides a platform for researchers and decision makers in biotechnology to present their latest findings and learn about all the important developments in biotechnology. Many Nobel Laureates and many world renowned experts will participate at the conference.

The conference will cover the translational nature of biotechnological research, with emphasis on both the basic science as well as its applications in industry and academia. Presentations will include major research advances in biotechnology, business development, strategic alliances, partnering trends, product opportunities, growth business models and strategies, licensing and pharmaceutical biotechnology (e.g. vaccines, CNS, cancer, antibodies), medical biotechnology, industrial biotechnology, bioprocess engineering, protein engineering, plant and environmental technologies, transgenic plant and crops, bioremediation, and microbial diversity research.

Cell Death
2013-07-15 to 2013-07-20
Lucca (Barga), Italy

Cell death is a fundamental biological process, universally required for normal development and firmly established in the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of many diseases. This Gordon Conference will explore the frontiers of Cell Death research, with themes that focus on newly discovered molecules, pathways and mechanisms that specify active forms of cell death in health and disease. The Conference will feature talks and poster presentations on a wide range of topics that span apoptotic signaling networks (e.g. caspase control, Bcl-2 family proteins, mitochondrial dynamics) and non-canonical cell death pathways, including necrosis and autophagy. Invited speakers are recruited from a variety of scientific disciplines, including biochemistry, genetics, structural biology, cell biology, developmental biology, neuroscience and immunology. The Conference will gather established experts who are leaders in the field together with junior scientists, postdocs and graduate students to share discoveries and exchange ideas. Some poster presenters will be selected for short talks. The intimate format and collegial atmosphere of this Conference is designed to enable brainstorming and promote collaborations.

EMBO Conference Series-Protein Synthesis and Translational Control
2013-09-08 to 2013-09-12
Heidelberg, Germany

"Translational Control" has become a major focus of attention in the field of gene regulation. Interest in translation extends to many fields, including development, neurobiology, cell physiology and disease, etc. The discovery of miRNAs opened a new frontier that is now being extended with the finding of new noncoding RNA molecules and the establishment of novel powerful high-throughput techniques, which will be central within the conference. With the increasing appreciation for the integration between different steps in the gene expression pathway, the conference will also explore the latest work on the interfaces between translational control and mRNA turnover, RNA localization and splicing/nonsense-mediated decay. The conference will continue to promote communication between experts in the field of translation with those from a scientifically related field that have traditionally held separate meetings: the structure and function of the ribosome. Finally, our understanding of the biochemistry of the translation process is progressing rapidly, and is uncovering hidden layers of regulation: isoforms of translation initiation factors with distinct activities, initiation at non-AUG codons, etc. The latest findings regarding these processes will feature prominently within the conference. We thus believe that the conference promises to be timely, scientifically cutting-edge and of broad interest.

3rd World Congress on Cell Science & Stem Cell Research
2013-11-20 to 2013-11-22
DoubleTree by Hilton Baltimore-BWI Airport, USA

3^rd World Congress on Cell Science & Stem Cell Research serves as a reunion land for scientists in the area of Stem Cell Research. This Conference aims to bring together oncologists, academic scientists, industry researchers and scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of Cell Science and Stem Cell Research, and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted.

The scientific program will include workshops, symposia and poster sessions on a wide range of Cell Science and Stem Cell topics. The conference will also feature a showcase of exhibitors for you to explore. Leading oncologists will descend upon the City to share and examine innovative scientific breakthroughs in Stem Cell Research from basic science to clinical research.
