Food Ingredients India 2008

Oct 3, 2008 - Oct 4, 2008,
Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, Maharashtra India

Indian cuisine has always embraced a wide variety of ingredients - and that’s even more true today. The typical colours, smells and tastes of Indian food are now being used in health foods, beverages, nutraceuticals, snacks and ready meals. With its trillian dollar economy, 8% economic growth rate, billion-plus population and increasingly prosperous consumers, India is a market with enormous potential.

Food processing is growing by 20% a year in India. Rapidly developing urbanisation and more hectic lifestyles have led to a sharp increase in the demand for preservatives to sustain a longer shelf life. With more women in
the workforce, convenience foods are booming.
Healthier food choices are also of great interest in order to combat lifestyle-infl uenced conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. WWell educated, informed and articulate, the Indian consumers have changing tastes - including their food consumption.

ESF-COST High-Level Research Conference (System Chemistry)

Oct 3, 2008 - Oct 8, 2008,
Hotel Villa del Mare Acquafredda di Maratea Italy

Systems Chemistry is the joint effort of prebiotic and supramolecular chemistry together with theoretical biology and complex systems research to address problems relating to the origin and synthesis of life. The emerging field can be viewed as the bottom up pendant of systems biology towards synthetic biology. A major focus is laid on the study of autocatalytic reaction systems, such as chemical self-replicating, self-reproducing, and chiral symmetry breaking systems. The field aims at the construction of dynamic supersystems embedding at least one autocatalytic subsystem. Subsystems may be classified as genetic, metabolic, or compartiment-building. Pairwise integration into higher organized supersystems is expected to yield the knowledge enabling later the triple integration into minimal chemical cells. Finding the chemical roots of Darwinian evolvability is seen as a key challenge for the field.

Controversies in Breast Cancer: Adjuvant and Neoadjuvant Therapy 2008

New York Marriott East Side Hotel New York, New York United States

The Controversies in Breast Cancer: Adjuvant and Neoadjuvant Therapy 2008 3-day congress is dedicated to an in-depth discussion of the emerging data that underlie optimal adjuvant and neoadjuvant breast cancer therapy, with a particular focus on data that impart an understanding of the biologic bases and natural history of the breast cancer subtypes. A significant emphasis on case discussion and management of patients with early-stage and locally advanced breast cancer will provide a forum to discuss and debate the controversies and practical applicability of the evolving clinical trial findings. The congress will address new data that influence practice in multidisciplinary areas of early breast cancer care, including pathology, breast imaging, breast cancer genetics and risk reduction, surgery, radiation therapy, and systemic therapy. The presentation and discussion of prognostic and predictive biomarkers will be a major theme of the congress to reflect the emerging issues that arise when oncologists strive to match the best therapy to the right patient. The congress will include lectures and case presentations, with a detailed discussion of diagnostic and treatment options as well as a point-counterpoint debate on controversial topics. Small-group breakout sessions with the faculty will be conducted for more in-depth discussion of controversial patient cases and topics. Participants will have the opportunity to critically review existing clinical trial data on adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies and evaluate the application of these data to the ongoing management of patients with breast cancer through case discussions, panel discussions, and participant-directed discussion of patient-management dilemmas.
The purpose of this congress is to provide an update on the latest advances in adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer, addressing key areas of controversy.

Places of Knowledge: Relocating Science, Technology and Medicine

Oct 3, 2008 - Oct 5, 2008,
Cornell University Ithaca, New York United States

In recent years, a number of scholars working under the broad rubric of Science & Technology Studies have sought to move beyond the field's traditional focus on scientific practice carried out by credentialed experts in labs and clinics in the industrialized world. This conference invites papers including, but not limited to, the anthropology, history, and sociology of science, technology and/or medicine to consolidate and extend this work. We seek to put in dialogue analyses addressing technoscience in colonial and postcolonial contexts with work on artisanal knowledge, citizen science, and other forms of knowledge and sites of practice. We request papers that examine these places, the types of material and knowledge produced within them, and the sorts of communities and institutions that facilitate the means of knowledge production. Themes will include the nature of skills and practices in colonial and postcolonial contexts, methods of professionalization, and the production of traditional and modern places of knowledge as well as the discourse between them. We invite, in addition, papers concerned with questions of method: are there epistemological assumptions constitutive of the disciplines that have traditionally made up STS that have undermined (and/or continue to undermine) a project that aims to relocate the study of science, technology, and medicine?

Caring for the cancer patient in the advanced stage of illness is particularly challenging to the healthcare team.
