FEBS Workshop on Transient Interactions

The FEBS Workshop on Understanding Transient Molecular Interactions in Biology, which will be held on May 18-21, 2010 in Seville (Spain), is aimed at analyzing the biological transient complexes, which can be studied in depth only by means of concerted efforts. Thus it is of utmost importance that the researchers from the different disciplines communicate more extensively and integrate their results. For these reasons, the invited speakers, who are leading researchers in their respective fields, will cover the most relevant aspects of transient macromolecular interactions and complex formations.

OzBio 2010 Congress

OzBio2010 is the 12th IUBMB-21st FAOBMB-ComBio2010 Conference, which will take place in Melbourne, Australia, 26 September to 1 October 2010.
