Gradients and Signaling: from chemotaxis to development
Date: 11/17/2008-11/21/2008
Location: Japan |
This small meeting， to be held at the ocean front seminar facilities of OIST， will include sessions on bacterial chemotaxis and signaling by growth factors， TGF-beta， Hedgehog and Wnt. The aim of the meeting is to discuss the formation of gradients as well as the intracellular signaling pathways that receive them. We hope to discuss the similarities and differences in mechanisms a variety of signalling pathway utilize to create changes in target cells.
We invite applications from graduate students， post-doctoral researchers， and lab heads who wish to participate in the workshop. OIST will cover registration， accommodation (shared rooms in Seaside House)， meals， and travel for all participants.
Please feel free to contact us at signalling08@oist.jp for further information.

Principles and Practice of Light Microscopy: A Training Course with a Focus on Asia
Date: 3/1/2009-3/7/2009
Location: India |
Application deadline: November 1， 2008
This course，taught by world leaders in microscopy，provides didactic and hands-on training for state-of-the-art light microscopy for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Lectures will be combined with practical demonstrations and discussions with teachers. A dedicated teaching laboratory equipped with many state-of-the-art microscopes will be made available and there will also be opportunities to use many of the outstanding microscopes in the two microscope facilities at NCBS.
We will cover many aspects of modern biological microscopy including microscope optics， associated hardware，fluorophores and sample preparation techniques. Lectures on how microscopy can be used to address biological questions will be part of the program.
