- Proteomics: advances in biomarker discovery - 24 November 2007
"Proteomics is an exciting area of research that holds promise for the future. It is widely accepted that proteomics holds the potential to identify new diagnostic and or prognostic biomarkers, and drug targets for the development of new therapeutic approaches for fighting disease. Proteomics, the large scale analysis of gene expression at the protein level incorporates structural, interaction and expression proteomics. Using expression proteomics, the aim is to detect and identify all, or a subset, of the proteins in a given sample and find out which of these proteins are present, absent, or differentially expressed in a related sample subject to as specific variation. For example, proteomics enables the identification of protein alterations responsible for the development and the pathological outcome of disease leading to the discovery of new protein markers, “biomarkers”, for diagnostic/prognostic purposes and of novel molecular targets for drug discovery. A combination of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry are the most widely used tools in this area of proteomics, although many other technologies are also currently available and continually emerging. This meeting examines the use of proteomics in the identification of biomarkers using a variety of old, new and developing technologies."Dr Ayesha De Souza, St Georges Hospital Medical School, London (Meeting Chair)
Tue, 09 Oct 2007 13:03:09 +0100 - Understanding dendritic cells and their ability to regulate immune responses - 16 Nov 2007
Dendritic cells continue to provoke much interest amongst immunologists by virtue of their key role in a number of aspects of the immune response. In this meeting, we will aim to address some of these and will cover topics such as: types of DC, DC markers and maturation, the importance of DC in innate and adaptive immunity and their use in immunotherapy.
Sun, 07 Oct 2007 10:00:00 +0100 - Molecular Farming: Plant biologicals - 29 January 2008
"Plant biotechnology offers an unprecendented opportunity to produce modern, recombinant pharmaceutical proteins at scale, quickly and at low cost. In essence, a “low-tech high technology”, it has the potential to address many of the global health issues that cannot be solved using conventional technologies. This meeting follows on from the first Molecular Farming meeting in January 2006, and will visit the latest advances and enabling technologies, and review the progress that is being made towards the first commercial products." Chair - Professor Julian Ma, St Georges Hospital, University of London, UK
Thu, 06 Sep 2007 10:59:50 +0100 - Cell Culture Technology Users Day - 14 March 2008
This Users Symposia is designed as a small informal meeting for anyone with questions about the technology in question.
Fri, 29 Jun 2007 10:00:00 +0100 - Glycomics: Recent Advances and Exploitation Opportunities - 15 April 2008
EuroSciCon are pleased to announce the date of their second Glycomics meeting which is to be held on 15 April 2008 at the BioPark, Welwyn Garden City.
Thu, 28 Jun 2007 10:00:00 +0100 - "Genomics and Chemical Space: A New Locus for Drug Discovery" - 12th October 2007
“This will be a novel programme which should be of interest both to the academic community interested in structural genomics and proteomics and also the industrial community involved in drug discovery”. Professor Sir Tom Blundell FRS, FmedSci, Professor and Head of Biochemistry, Chair of the School of Biological Sciences, University of Cambridge (meeting chair).
Fri, 11 May 2007 10:00:00 +0100 - "Surviving as a Woman in Science" - 2nd November 2007
With a good degree, perhaps a PhD or maybe you have a couple of post-docs under your belt, you start to realise that the majority of senior scientists within your organisation are men! Of course they are not expected to juggle a career with family commitments and we all know that single-mindedly following one's ambition comes more naturally to the male of the species! So, how can you break through the glass ceiling and achieve your goals? This one day meeting will bring together women from many different scientific backgrounds and at different stages in their careers, all with inspirational life stories, who are challenging the old order. There will be talks and advice from experts to help with CVs, grant and fellowship writing, interview techniques, time management, networking and a whole host of the other skills required to not just survive but thrive in science. View the latest agenda here ....
Thu, 10 May 2007 10:00:00 +0100 - "Toll-like receptors – investigating innate immunity and infection" - 25th Sept 2007
The talks at this meeting, which takes place on 25th September 2007 at the BioPark Welwyn Garden City, will examine the role of toll-like receptors in innate immunity to infections covering different members of the TLR family as well as different microbial ligands.The latest agenda can be viewed here.
Wed, 09 May 2007 09:00:00 +0100 - Investigating the blood-brain barrier - physiology, pathology and applications: 17 July 2007
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is composed of specialised endothelium which physically separates the central nervous system from brain microvasculature, and prevents movement of many substances between the two. Only a very limited number of molecules are able to cross the BBB including those that are lipid soluble, those for which there are specific transport systems and small molecular weight molecules (below about 500 Daltons), making drug delivery to the brain a real challenge. The aim of this meeting is to provide an update on BBB endothelial cell (patho)physiology and function and to discuss novel approaches CNS drug delivery.Dr Charlotte Lawson, Royal Veterinary College (Meeting Chair)
Wed, 31 Jan 2007 10:00:00 +0000 - Assaying Chemokines and Chemotaxis - 8 June 2007
The meeting will involve presentations from both academia and industry and will give an overview of current techniques employed in the assay of chemokines and chemotaxis in the context of current immunological research.Meeting Chair: Dr James Pease, National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London
Tue, 30 Jan 2007 10:39:34 +0000 - DNA Microarrays: from target collections to profiles - 1 May 2007
"Following on from the very successful Euroscicon 2005 meeting "DNA micro arrays: from target collections to profiles", our 2007 meeting will focus more on downstream applications. The focus of this meeting will not as much be on the in-house preparation of micro-arrays, but rather on the subsequent data processing steps, validation strategies, and the translation of validated findings into biological / clinical context."Dr Eric Shoenmakers, Nijmegen, The Netherlands (Meeting Chair)
Fri, 12 Jan 2007 09:00:00 +0000 - Spin Out meeting: "How can I spin out my research and become a company?" 15 June 2007

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 10:00:00 +0000 - Spontaneous Models of Human Disease: 2nd February 2007 London
"The main goal of this meeting is to get together clinical and basic immunologists trying to gather insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of human diseases and immunotherapy. Due to the limitations of the human system, these investigations often rely on the use of animal models developing spontaneous diseases. In this meeting we will evaluate the pros and cons of some of the most used and valuable animal models of disease and some new models, which will open new therapeutic ways to treat human diseases."Meetings Chair: Dr Sonia Quarantino, University of Southampton
Thu, 16 Nov 2006 09:00:00 +0000 - Identifying T Cell Subset Phenotype and Function: 16th March 2007 BioPark Herts
"The diversity of T cell subsets and functions makes it imperative that they can be identified, characterised, propagated, traced in vivo and their function elucidated effectively. This one day EuroSciCon meeting will provide the ideal opportunity to hear both the commercial companies presenting new techniques and academics highlighting their latest findings in this area. Similarly, there will be opportunities throughout the day for the audience to interact with these speakers and discuss their results in an informal setting." Meetings Chair: Dr Catherine Derry, Science Communicator
