Physical Principles of Protein Behavior in the Cell
20 April, 2009
Proteins are involved in essentially all the biochemical reactions taking place in the cell, including those required for the control of gene expression, metabolism, transport, and enzymatic catalysis. The enormous complexity of the mechanisms of regulation of protein behaviour in the cell are being unraveled at an increasing pace. Much advance has been made in our understanding of the way in which the concentration, localization, and interactions are controlled within living cells. The introduction of novel experimental high-throughput techniques and theoretical methods of analysis have enabled the initial study of the networks of interacting molecules that underlie the functioning of the myriad biological pathways through which cells maintain homeostasis and promote development.

9th International Congress of Plant Molecular Biology: Leading Biology through Plant Science
20 April, 2009
The conference will highlight a state-of-the-art view of research in plant molecular biology. In addition to keynote addresses and invited symposia, individuals are invited to submit abstracts for presentation as talks in concurrent sessions, or as posters. Ample time will be set aside for discussion at various workshops.

52st Annual Biological Safety Conference
20 April, 2009
The American Biological Safety Association (ABSA) was founded in 1984 to promote biosafety as a scientific discipline and serve the growing needs of biosafety professionals throughout the world. Its goals are to provide a professional association that represents the interests and needs of practitioners of biological safety, and to provide a forum for the continued and timely exchange of biosafety in formation.

Comparative genomics of eukaryotic microorganisms: diversity of life
20 April, 2009
The first eukaryote sequenced, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, laid the foundation in Europe for the new post-genomic era where we are dealing with this wealth of information.

TLRs (Toll-like receptors), NLRs (Nod-like proteins) and RLRs (RIG-like receptors), pathogens sensors of innate immunity
18 April, 2009
Significant advances in our understanding of the innate immune recognition have been made in the last decade following the identification of three families of pattern recognition receptors: Toll-like receptors (TLRs), NOD-like receptors (NLRs) and RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs). TLRs are pattern recognition receptors that detect motifs or signatures from bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi. NLRs detect mainly intracellular bacteria and RLRs detect viral genome.

5th Congress of the Portuguese Proteomics Network - ProCura
18 April, 2009
The field of proteomics is growing constantly. Nowadays Proteomics is becoming an instrument of support for Systems Biology or Medical Chemistry. In addition, the improvements driven by Analytical Chemistry in Mass Spectrometry are quickly implemented in Proteomics. Ultimately, the advances in Analytical Chemistry are implemented in Systems Biology or Medical Chemistry through Proteomics. For this reason we have considered extremely important to devote one International Congress to Analytical Proteomics, aiming to share in the same meeting the knowledge among those developing the Analytical Techniques for the Proteomics of the XXI century and those making use of them. Jointing researchers from all the Proteomics` frontiers we hope to do a meeting that will greatly delight us.

Meiosis
18 April, 2009
Meiosis is the process by which diploid cells produce haploid gametes or spores, a key event for sexual reproduction, with major implications on the transmission of the genetic information and on genome evolution.
The research on meiosis is highly dynamic and innovative thanks to the combination of molecular, cellular, cytological and genetic approaches and, importantly, by complementary studies in a number of different model organisms. Each system provides a slightly different window on the process of meiosis and allows distinguishing evolutionary conserved processes from those that are more species specific.
