FASEB Summer Research Conference Machines on Genes: Nucleic Acids Enzymes June 22-27, 2014 Base Village Conference Center Snowmass Village, Colorado
Abstract deadline: May 22, 2014 Co-Organizers Thomas Carell Ludwig-Maximilians University Brandt Eichman Vanderbilt University Jeffrey Kieft University of Colorado Session topics Translation and the Ribosome DNA Damage and Repair Transcription and RNA Modification DNA Replication Catalytic Nucleic Acids Translocation and Remodeling Chromatin and Epigenetics Multifunctional Machines Program: https://secure.faseb.org/FASEB/meetings/summrconf/Programs/11574.pdf Registration: https://secure.faseb.org/FASEB/meetings/summrconf/selectTopic.aspx?Sortfrom=2013 **Travel Grants (13 available): http://www.faseb.org/Science-Research-Conferences/Awards-and-Travel-Grants.aspx This meeting will focus on the architectures and mechanics of proteins and protein-nucleic acid complexes that maintain and decode the information stored within DNA and RNA. The 2014 meeting marks a consolidation of the long-running FASEB Nucleic Acids Enzymes Conference with the Biochemical Society Machines on Genes Conference, which has taken place in the UK twice since 2010. Sessions will cover the mechanisms of important nucleic acid transactions and will highlight the use of emerging biophysical methods. In addition to an exciting list of invited speakers, a number of oral presentations will be selected from the abstracts. Funds have been secured to provide 13 travel scholarships for students and postdocs. The meeting will also feature several organized panel discussions to help junior colleagues navigate various topics related to careers in science. Ample time has been designated for informal discussion over poster presentations and recreational activities in order to provide participants opportunities to exchange ideas and formulate new collaborations. We hope to see you in Snowmass this summer ~ Brandt, Jeff, and Thomas Brandt Eichman Associate Professor of Biological Sciences and Biochemistry Vanderbilt University Nashville, TN 37232 615.936.5233 http://structbio.vanderbilt.edu/eichman
