Diffraction Methods In Structural Biology 2008

Jul 13, 2008 - Jul 18, 2008,
Bates College Lewiston, Maine United States

Structural Biology is a field which underpins our basic understanding of the molecular basis of disease, and hence of disease prevention. Diffraction of X-rays from crystalline samples is used to obtain accurate information on the three-dimensional structure of large biologically important molecules: this knowledge often allows the mechanisms of action of molecular pathways to be determined, and provides the potential to interfere with them if they have undesirable outcomes. The continuing development of experimental and computational methods is crucial to the successful application of the technique to increasingly complex biological systems.

This GRC seeks to cover the latest advances in all aspects of Diffraction Methods for Structural Biology. Sessions are planned on the experimental and computational aspects, future directions in synchrotron based macromolecular crystallography, challenging problems, pushing the boundaries of the technique, emerging technologies, complementary methods and imaging methods of the future.

In addition to the usual survey of enzyme catalysis, sessions will address new developments in metabolic pathways and natural product biosynthesis, examine exciting new breakthroughs in the evolution and design of enzymes, and explore recent advances in industrial enzymology, including novel pharmacological applications of enzymes. Topics include bacterial toxins, motor proteins, protein dynamics and metabolic engineering.

Flow & Transport In Permeable Media 2008

Jul 13, 2008 - Jul 18, 2008,

The bi-annual Gordon Conference on Flow and Transport in Permeable Media provides a unique forum for interactions among leading professionals from academia, industry, and government representing a variety of backgrounds including petroleum engineering, hydrology, mathematics, geology, chemical engineering, material sciences, biology and biomedical engineering sharing common interest in physical, chemical, and biological processes in porous media. The 2008 FTPM meeting will highlight issues related to CO2 storage in geologic formations, transport of colloids and nanoparticles, advances in reservoir simulation, multiphase transport, engineered and evolving pore spaces, observational methods for porous media, flows in biological permeable media, and other advanced topics. The speakers in the upcoming meeting are challenged with presenting provocative and new cutting edge science and ideas. Following the presentations, ample time is scheduled to allow for stimulating discussions in a relaxed and truly interdisciplinary forum. Young scientists and graduate students are particularly encouraged to present their work in several poster sessions and to take active part in the discussions and exchange of ideas.

Inorganic Chemistry 2008

Jul 13, 2008 - Jul 18, 2008,
Salve Regina University Rhode Island United States

The Inorganic Chemistry GRC has a broader focus than is typical for a GRC. This meeting is one-stop shopping for the most cutting edge research in inorganic chemistry. Scientists from academic, industrial, and national laboratories meet to discuss important problems in the field, highlight emerging opportunities and share unpublished results. Networking opportunities abound! Participants at this conference represent the leaders in areas across the multifaceted field of inorganic chemistry.

As in previous years, we will offer two 15 minute speaking slots to be chosen from among our poster presenters. These talks will occur on Thursday evening. Anyone interested in participating in the poster competition should bring a small copy of their poster to submit to the committee.

Chemistry At Interfaces

Jul 13, 2008 - Jul 18, 2008,
Waterville Valley Resort, Waterville Valley, New Hampshire United States

The conference will focus on fundamental descriptions of gradient systems in terms of their atomic and molecular scale structure, thermodynamics, kinetics and equilibrium. In turn, the conference will offer the opportunity to identify commonalities in the driving forces behind gradient formation and stability, thus allowing potentially greater control of their synthesis and properties. Furthermore, the conference will address efforts aimed at characterizing gradient structures over the range of length scales at which they exist, highlighting the challenges of resolving differences on the molecular scale.

Marine Microbes 2008

Jul 13, 2008 - Jul 18, 2008,
Il Ciocco, Lucca, Toscana Italy

Marine microbes are very abundant and diverse. They play significant roles in all element cycles, both quantitatively and qualitatively. However, they are little known, as the continuous series of surprising discoveries in the last few years shows. In the present conference the main focus will be on how these microbes interact: with other cells of their own species, with other microbes and with large living beings, from biofilms to symbiants. Another important topic will be the exploration of marine microbial diversity based on the recently developed sequencing approaches and on efforts to obtain marine organisms in pure cultures.

This conference will be the third in the Marine Microorganisms series. We hope it will contribute to enlarge the community of marine microbiologists and help in pointing the future directions of research even more than the two previous meetings.

Microbial Toxins & Pathogenicity 2008

Jul 13, 2008 - Jul 18, 2008,
Proctor Academy, Andover, New Hampshire United States

The Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity Gordon Conference is an exceptional forum for learning about the newest knowledge in the field of microbial pathogenesis. The focus is on basic mechanisms, primarily from bacterial systems that exemplify common themes in toxin biochemistry and biogenesis, molecular and cellular pathogenesis, and infection and immunity. New research on translating knowledge of basic mechanisms into therapeutic advances will also be presented. Speakers include established leaders in the field as well as young investigators of exceptional promise. Sessions are chaired by prominent researchers who broadly review the topic and place the speakers' work into that context. Discussions led by the session chair are lively exchanges of new ideas and perspectives stimulated by each talk. In addition to the plenary sessions, this meeting includes well-attended and highly interactive poster sessions. In 2008, the main conference will be preceded by the Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity. This weekend meeting, planned by and for post-doctoral and pre-doctoral trainees in the field of microbial pathogenesis, will provide an opportunity for future leaders in the field to present their work as talks and posters in a collegial and interactive environment. Attendance at the Graduate Research Seminar will add great value to the overall GRC experience for these young investigators.

New areas have already emerged with “dusty plasmas” now being used to create materials and build devices for nanotechnology, and plasma-controlled aerodynamics with the development of atmospheric discharges. Hydrogen production, biomass conversion, fuel cell technology are among the domains where plasmas technologies are improving every day. Use of plasmas in biology and medicine is set to “explode” in the coming years and will be exploited in surgery, skin or disease treatments as well as for decontamination and sterilization. The production and applications of plasmas in liquids is probably one of the most exciting emerging areas of plasma technology in the coming years.
