Program for Chiefs of Clinical Services

Jan 18, 2009 - Jan 30, 2009,
Boston, Massachusetts United States

Chairs of clinical departments traditionally have faced complex responsibilities because of their multiple tasks – patient care, teaching, research, and administration. In recent decades, this complexity has increased as many departments have expanded.

As a result of the effects of environmental and financial pressures and resource constraints, many chiefs are being asked by their institutions to become more extensively involved in institutional decision-making with regard to programs, staffing, operating and capital budgets, and other issues. These responsibilities are in addition to their traditional concerns within their own departments. At the same time, chiefs have to consider to a greater degree the relationship between institutional priorities, departmental decisions, and collaboration with other services. These new tasks call for new leadership and managerial skills.

The Program for Chiefs of Clinical Services brings together chiefs of major clinical departments in teaching hospitals and health systems and an experienced interdisciplinary faculty for two weeks of intensive and systematic study of some of the critical leadership and management issues facing chiefs, their departments, and teaching hospitals.

Mechanotransduction in Physiology and Disease

Jan 18, 2009 - Jan 23, 2009,
Sagebrush Inn and Conference Center Taos, New Mexico United States

Cellular responses to physical forces drive morphogenesis, regulate normal physiology, and contribute to pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, hypertension, cancer, osteoporosis and deafness among others. There has been considerable progress in recent years toward identifying molecules involved in mechanotransduction, including ion channels, cell adhesion receptors, cytoskeletal and extracellular matrix molecules. Progress has also been made toward measuring and defining in vivo forces, understanding cellular effects of forces, and understanding their roles in pathogenesis. However, much remains to be learned about molecular mechanisms of transduction and transmission, and the biological consequences. Additionally, limited communication between biologists, biophysicists, engineers and clinicians/translational researchers has slowed progress. The goals of this meeting are therefore: (1) to present major, recent advances in mechanotransduction; and (2) to foster multidisciplinary interactions. The meeting will address major mechanistic questions in the context of relevant clinical problems, integrating engineering/biophysics, cell biology, and physiology/disease into each session whenever possible.

Molecular Energy Transfer

Jan 18, 2009 - Jan 23, 2009,
Four Points Sheraton / Holiday Inn Express Ventura, California United States

Understanding how energy flows within and between molecules is essential to the development of a fundamental understanding of the nature of all chemical processes. The deepest understanding can be achieved when phenomena are studied at the molecular level, connecting quantum-state, time-resolved and other modern methods of experimentation to ab initio theoretical study. The Gordon Research Conference on Molecular Energy Transfer will bring together scientists concerned with a wide variety of topics spanning chemistry, physics and biology, yet unified by the idea that developing a molecular picture of chemical dynamics is a central goal of their endeavors. An important aspect of the field is that nearly every forefront topic of inquiry is well-represented by experimental and theoretical advances. Topics of interest are remarkably diverse, as the emphasis on deriving fundamental understanding often leads to insights in real-world phenomena or even to the development of novel technologies.

In keeping with the tradition of this meeting, which alternates between the MET Gordon Conference in the US and the COMET meeting in Europe, sessions will cover all areas of molecular energy transfer:

* Chemical reactivity and reaction dynamics
* Ionized and electronically excited species
* Clusters, interfaces and condensed phase
* Photochemistry, spectroscopy, and imaging
* Non-adiabatic, spin-forbidden, and vibronic ET

Glycobiology 2009

Jan 18, 2009 - Jan 23, 2009,
Ventura Beach Marriott Ventura, California United States

The Glycobiology Gordon Conference offers a unique opportunity, in a collegial setting, to both contribute to and keep abreast of the latest developments in our multidisciplinary field. Many new glycan functions are rapidly emerging from the studies of organ systems of humans and model systems, as well as in the area of parasite-host relations, and these advances are fueled by equally dramatic developments in glycan structural analysis technologies. Eleven scientific sessions are currently planned to cover diverse areas of the field, including Structural glycobiology of enzymes and receptors, Mechanisms of glycosylation, Nerve and muscle glycobiology, Chemical glycobiology, Immune cell glycobiology, Vascular glycobiology, Developmental glycobiology, Cancer and cell regulation, Metabolic regulation, and Parasite glycobiology. In addition to the approximately 31 invited talks, ~26 short talks will be selected from poster abstracts, and eight Conference Awards will be available for outstanding abstracts submitted by graduate students, post-docs and new faculty members. All applicants are encouraged to present a poster. The size of the conference has been increased this year to 150 participants. Since registration is limited, early application is advised.

Chemical & Biological Terrorism Defense

Jan 18, 2009 - Jan 23, 2009,
Hotel Galvez Galveston, Texas United States

There are numerous challenges in developing defenses, particularly medical countermeasures, or detection systems, to address biological or chemical threats. If the products or systems address only a particular agent, and have no other application, the cost of development and preparedness is enormously high relative to the perceived benefit of having these tools at hand. This Conference will focus on an array of topics in which new research has been focused on broad spectrum and platform technology approaches to discovering and developing defenses for biological and chemical threats that both leverage and integrate "everyday" applications. Major topic areas will include: broad spectrum approaches to antimicrobials and antiviral drugs; platform technologies for diagnostics; integration of chemical and biological detection into general use platforms; early host responses to biological and chemical agents; translational research: animals to people; "magic bullets": immunomodulators and immune enhancers; "OMICS" for biological and chemical agents; and screening strategies: targets and opportunities for intervention. The Conference will provide a forum for interaction of scientists from a variety of disciplines, and afford an opportunity for junior scientists and graduate students to contribute to a robust interdisciplinary discussion of the topics and challenges presented.

SBE's 2nd International Conference on Biomolecular Engineering

Jan 18, 2009 - Jan 21, 2009,
Fess Parker Doubletree Resort Santa Barbara, California United States
