The 19th CDB Meeting: RNA Sciences in Cell and Developmental Biology Date: 5/10/2010-5/12/2010 Location: Japan
The 19th CDB Meeting: RNA Sciences in Cell and Developmental Biology will be held May 10-12， 2010 at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe， Japan. The aim of this meeting is to bring leading scientists from all over the world with a common interest in the regulation of gene expression through "RNA molecules" to share ideas and concepts and discuss the future direction of this exciting research field.
The meeting will include topics such as mRNA splicing， RNA export， translational control， mRNA localization， RNA quality control， RNA silencing， epigenetics， and non-coding RNAs.
Deadline for abstract submission is 10:00am， March 1 (Japan time). Deadline for application submission is 10:00am， March 15 (Japan time).
There are a limited number of travel fellowships available to young researchers from overseas.
43rd Annual Meeting for the Japanese Society of Developmental Biologists Date: 6/20/2010-6/23/2010 Location: Japan
The 43rd Annual Meeting for the Japanese Society of Developmental Biologists will be held June 20-23， 2010 in Kyoto， Japan. This meeting will be jointly sponsored by APDBN.
