- 33rd FEBS Congress & 11th IUBMB Conference
-
Jun 28, 2008 - Jul 3, 2008,
Megaron Athens Athens International Conference Centre, Athens, Attica, GreeceOn behalf of the Organising Committee, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the World Fair of Biochemical sciences and we would like to invite you to join us at the 33rd FEBS Congress - 11th IUBMB conference on Biochemistry of Cell Regulation that will be held in Athens Greece in 2008 (June 28th to July 3rd).
Following the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century and the Information Technology Revolution of the 20th century, the 21st century of our era, is witnessing a revolution in biosciences. Undoubtedly, biosciences have had a tremendous impact in the unraveling of the mystery of life and have provided us with solutions to major problems of society which are connected with health, environment, food sources and so many more.
These are indeed exciting times. We are being offered the opportunity to unveil the secrets of our very own existence and perhaps even the ability to alter it. These new opportunities, though, bring to the foreground a number of hard to answer questions of social and ethical nature. It is therefore crucial to encourage constructive thinking and public discussion, as well as to ensure that scientists continue their research in the decoding of the mechanisms of life. It is of major importance to produce sufficient knowledge in order to achieve a correct perspective.
Nevertheless it is the obligation of the scientific community to provide the public with ample information on the subject of biosciences; otherwise it is very possible that other, non-scientific parties, will cover this gap. - full details

Aldemar Knossos Royal Village Conference Center Crete GreeceNumerous studies have pointed to the immune system in the pathogenesis of retinal disease, particularly age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The first International Conference on Inflammation and Retinal Disease will focus on the Complement System, given the powerful human genetic clues that have emerged in the last few years. The approach will be multi-disciplinary and scientifically rigorous, with speakers drawn from the vanguard of complement and immune system biology, and vision science. All speakers will be required to communicate new unpublished data. The conference goal is to provide an environment for debate and the generation of new hypotheses to assist in exploiting the extensive experience in Complement pathobiology for advancing the diagnosis and treatment of AMD. The 4 day conference should also prove useful for individuals seeking to learn the latest information about complement and inflammation. Ample time will be provided for informal collegial discussions, in a setting renowned for its beauty and history.
