Death, Danger, Inflammation and Immunity (2nd Conference of the ERI-ICP)

We are pleased to announce that First Annual Conference of European Academy of Tumor Immunology and the 3rd Conference of the European Research Institute for Integrated Cellular Pathology (ERI-ICP) entitled «Death, Danger, Inflammation and Immunity” will be held at Pasteur Institute in Paris between May 31 and June 1, 2012. At this new conference, the link between cell death and inflammatory/immune processes will be examined, focusing mostly on cancer and stroke.

11th Complex Trait Community (CTC) meeting

The CTC (http://www.complextrait.org) is an international group of scientists (geneticists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticists, statisticians, etc…) working to identify networks of genes and allelic variants that modulate complex phenotypes in diverse environments. The CTC 2012 meeting aims at gathering scientists working on complex traits in the mouse, humans, farm animals, other animal species and plants, to promote cross-fostering interactions and the emergence of innovative approaches.

XXVth International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems

The ICMRBS conference, held biennially, is widely considered one of the leading meetings in the rapidly growing field of magnetic resonance in biology, covering important new developments and biological applications using high-resolution liquid and solid-state NMR, EPR, in vivo NMR, metabolomics and MRI. The XXVth ICMRBS conference will gather a broad range of experts from around the world with interests in all aspects of magnetic resonance in biology, offering opportunities to improve communication and cooperation between researchers. The challenge of this major event is to provide an in-depth panoramaof the current state of the art in the field as well as to assess the directions where magnetic resonance could have the greatest impact on addressing biologically important problems.

Tuberculosis 2012

The EMBO conference series "Tuberculosis 2012" is an international congress that provides a premium forum for the discussion and exchange of the recent advances of current research and novel trends related to tuberculosis, its causative agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis and related pathogenic mycobacteria. This international meeting to be held from September 11-15, 2012, will take place in the Conference centre (CIS) within the campus of the Institut Pasteur, which can host up to 500 conference delegates and is situated in the center of Paris, France. The conference will be of interest to researchers, doctors, and representatives from industry with focus on the biology of pathogenic mycobacteria and their interaction with their hosts. Participation by students and scientists in the early stages of their careers is highly encouraged. Tuberculosis 2012 will provide abundant opportunities for networking and exchange of information between senior scientists and professionals, new investigators and students.

Fourth European Workshop on Lipid Mediators

This biennial two-day workshop is primarily addressed to scientists interested in the field of bioactive lipid mediators. Scientists from across and outside Europe have been invited to share their expertise in a number of research topics that include the state-of-the-art knowledge of the biochemistry, molecular biology and physiology of lipids as signalling molecules, their involvement in inflammation, and their specific roles in several disease conditions. The workshop has two main goals: 1) to bring together researchers to discuss the latest results and developments in this area; and 2) to promote interaction and exchange of ideas among the different laboratories. For this Fourth Workshop, a special emphasis will be placed on exploring: i) the relevance of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids ii) the role of lipid mediators in the resolution of inflammation iii) the advances in lipidomic analysis iv) the prostanoid receptor pharmacology. We especially welcome graduate and postdoctoral students to attend this workshop, and a special session will be devoted to them.
