We will discuss insights gathered from the study of model genetic organisms and human cells on the intersection between RecQ helicases and the responses to DNA damage, examining (1) the biochemistry of RecQ helicases, (2) RecQ`s roles in DNA replication and DNA repair, (3) RecQ helicases and intra-S phase checkpoint...
We will include open-table discussions in all three sessions of our symposium, which will allow attendees and speakers to discuss these issues openly. A second goal is communication of the importance of raft biology to a much wider research community. Third, we hope to seed collaborations and sharing of reagents...
Description:Â This conference will provide a forum for both new and established investigators to present their most recent work, highlighting new findings relevant to adrenal physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, genetics, and medicine. It is anticipated that these discoveries will provide a framework for further understanding the function of the adrenal...
29 February 2008 will be the first celebration of the European Rare Disease Day: A Rare Day for Very Special People. The organisation of this awareness Day is coordinated by Eurordis at the European level and by National Alliances at the national level. Many events will take place throughout Europe....
The Thomas Ball Children`s Cancer Fund are to hold a banquet dinner and disco on February 15 – which is International Childhood Cancer Day. The function will be particularly focussed on raising funds into researching neuroblastoma, a rare disease where research into fighting it is not funded directly by the...
Goals of this conference were to (1) catalyze a field of mitochondrial research; (2) identify funding goals and mechanisms for funding mitochondrial work; (3) accelerate translation of mitochondrial-directed therapy to orphan diseases; (4) publish the results of the meeting in Cell Metabolism, Nature Medicine, or JAMA; and (5) publish a...

An important goal of the meeting is to allow ample opportunity for new emerging areas to be represented. Therefore, at least 20% of the invited presentations will be chosen from the submitted abstracts that describe late-breaking news. Participants were able to begin submitting their abstracts in November 2007. All abstracts...
Description:Â The meeting will bring together scientists from different fields to facilitate interaction and collaboration. It will involve scientists from basic research, industry, government policy makers, and clinicians. The underlying goals of this meeting are to identify new avenues of investigation, to define therapeutic strategies for the maintenance of genomic integrity,...
Description:Â The major goals in organizing the conference include: (1) Discussion of the current status of salivary gland research and the evolving questions, (2) Cutting-edge presentations on a variety of research projects relevant to salivary gland research, (3) Discussion of emerging fields and future areas of research emphasis, (4) Introduction for...
Description:Â It is expected that this scientific workshop will provide the opportunities: 1) To review the clinical course of all available presymptomatic children transplanted for Krabbe disease, to include serial neuroimaging, cerebrospinal fluid findings, and neurophysiologic studies. (Is the defect central, peripheral or both? Are there differences in outcome based on...
Description:Â The 3rd symposium will assemble eighteen international and twelve U.S. speakers and guests along with leading investigators from the NIAAA funded Research Center for ALPD. It will provide an exciting forum to discuss and exchange cutting-edge science on the following major themes as they relate to the pathogenesis and pathophysiology...
Description:Â Goals of the workshop are to organize and implement a patient registry, establish algorithms that optimize diagnostic testing and identify strategies for the development of therapies. The results of this conference will be useful to investigators interested in these diseases by improving access to research resources important for progress of...
Description:Â The purposes of the working group are to discuss current knowledge related to cost-effective analysis (CEA) in rare diseases, identify gaps in this body of knowledge, and strategize next steps for incorporating CEA into the evaluation of biobehavioral interventions. It is anticipated that the working group will provide recommendations that...
