HUPO 2008 – Proteome Biology

Issue 4 2008, Past issues / 2 August 2008 /

Date: 16-20 August 2008

The theme of the meeting is “Proteome Biology”. In spite of the amazing complexity of the proteome, the field of proteomics has matured to a degree where significant progress in biology and medicine can be realised. This expectation is based on rapid progress in the development of powerful proteomics technologies that increasingly contribute to the editing of comprehensive maps of the various cells’ proteomes and move forward the boundaries of the “terra incognita”. The title of the meeting also indicates the need for proteomics to progress beyond identifying the building blocks of the proteome towards understanding of how the complex biological functions of a cell are orchestrated via intricate networks of proteins interacting with themselves and other types of biomolecules.

10th Anniversary of MIPTEC 2007 – The leading European Event for Drug Discovery Technologies

In the last decade, MipTec has evolved as the leading event in Europe on enabling technologies in the drug discovery process with its scientific programme and the accompanying exhibition. The conference is ideally suited for both specialists and newcomers to the field and gives everyone an excellent opportunity to gain a relevant and updated view of this rapidly moving field. Its diverse session topics address the wide range of disciplines and activities that populate the landscape of modern pharmaceutical research, from the identification and validation of new targets up to the generation and optimisation of candidate drugs through both in silico and experimental biology approaches. Distinguished scientists from both academia and industry have chosen MipTec as the ideal forum to unveil new concepts and share their experience with colleagues from all over the world. In addition, MipTec is committed to being unrivalled in Europe for the vendor exhibition that offers every participant a unique opportunity to gather critical information to guide the acquisition of technologies, services, tools and hardware. MipTec promises its growing community to preserve and continue its tradition of incorporating scientific sessions on highly relevant, emerging fields in drug discovery.
