The Ubiquitin System: Function, Physiology and its Role in Disease is organized by Fusion Conferences Ltd and will be held during Jun 03 -06, 2018 at Melia Nassau Beach All Inclusive, Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas. The target audience for this medical event is researchers who are particularly interested in the diverse functions of the ubiquitin system, rather than structural aspects of it, as well the way this system is involved in normal physiology in a whole range of pathologies that have been shown to be associated with abnormal ubiquitin signalling. Naturally this target profile will bring together researchers from both academia and the biotech/pharma industries who want to be on top of the most recent developments in this fascinating and fast developing field. We have reached a fascinating point in the field of ubiquitin research. The attachment of ubiquitin to a protein in the cytosol was first identified as a means to enable the degradation of this protein by the proteasome. Much later it became clear that the ubiquitin system fulfils another crucial cellular function: through the dynamics offered by ubiquitination and subsequent deubiquitination it gives signalling platforms in a plethora of signal transduction pathways the means to initiate but, importantly, also to end the triggering of particular signals originating from these platforms. Whilst some of the signalling-related functions of the ubiquitin system are mediated via its proteasome-targeting function, the majority of these are mediated by different types of ubiquitin chains acting as scaffolds for the recruitment of signalling modules to protein complexes which serve as platforms for the triggering of specific signalling complexes. Rather than discussing mainly structural aspects of the ubiquitin system, this conference is dedicated to the study of functional roles of the ubiquitin system, how it works to ensure normal signal transduction, what are the pathological consequences when it is perturbed and how we may be able to address such perturbances therapeutically in various diseases including cancer, autoimmunity and neurodegeneration. Learning Objectives : • To be on top of the field with the diversity of functional roles of the ubiquitin system • To understand how the ubiquitin system affects health and disease • To develop an understanding for where the treatment options are currently seen in the ubiquitin fields • To learn which ubiquitin-related drugs are presently in preclinical and clinical development • To get a feel for the opportunities of the future provided by the ubiquitin system Price: Academic from : USD 1823.00, Industry from: USD 1823.00, Student from : USD 1534.00 Speakers: Dr. Vishva Dixit (Genentech), Prof. Henning Walczak (Cancer Research UK - UCL Centre) Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

6th Nucleic Acids Conference is organized by Fusion Conferences Ltd and will be held during Feb 13 - 16, 2019 at Melia Nassau Beach All Inclusive, Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas. Conference Description : This meeting is a continuation of the Zing Conferences Nucleic Acids series. The key role of nucleic acids is to encode and process genetic information at a molecular level. DNA is the genetic library of the cell, while RNA transports, translates and controls the expression of that information. DNA must be copied with unprecedented accuracy once every cell cycle. It is under constant endogenous and environmental onslaught, and a variety of repair pathways are necessary to maintain the integrity of the genetic blueprint. DNA is the only cellular molecule for which repair occurs to a significant extent. DNA undergoes recombination, a kind of molecular cut and re-join that creates diversity to facilitate evolution, as well as providing an important repair pathway. In eukaryotes something like 2m DNA is packaged into chromosomes so that it packs into the cell nucleus with a diameter of just 6 µm, while remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that reads out its genetic information. We are only just beginning the long journey of understanding what all this non-coding RNA is doing - it is very much the 'dark matter' of biology ! Lastly RNA can also accelerate chemical reactions by a million fold or more in the manner of an enzyme. This is very likely of key significance in the origin of life on the planet more than three billion years ago. The theme of this conference is understanding processes involving DNA and RNA at the molecular and chemical level, with a marked structural and mechanistic perspective.

3rd Fibroblast Growth Factors in Development and Repair Conference is organized by Fusion Conferences Ltd and will be held during Feb 15 - 18, 2019 at Melia Nassau Beach All Inclusive, Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas. Target Audience FGFs are key regulators of development, repair, disease, and metabolic homeostasis for many organs and therefore, FGF researchers come from various disciplines. These include structural biologists, biochemists, cell biologists, clinical researchers, clinicians, geneticists, pharmacologists and bioengineers. FGF meetings usually attract people from academia, but also from various pharmaceutical companies due to the important roles of FGFs and FGF receptors as drug targets. Learning Objectives We aim to bring together a diverse group of researchers with different expertise and skills in a single forum to discuss the latest results, to exchange ideas, to foster new and often interdisciplinary collaborations and to identify the major new direction of the field. Key Sessions will cover the following aspects: • FGF signalling in normal and impaired development • Role of FGFs in stem cell biology • Interaction of FGF signalling with other signalling pathways • Role of endogenous and efficacy of exogenous FGFs in tissue repair and regeneration • Role of altered FGF signalling in human diseases, ranging from rare developmental disorders to major diseases such as metabolic syndrome and cancer • Role of FGFs and FGFRs as therapeutic targets • FGFs as endocrine hormones. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
