In addition, elective modules on the topics of short bowel, oncology, intensive care / diabetes / wound and implementation of nutritional management can be booked. The pool of speakers is a mix of dieticians, nurses, specialists and other experts. After participating in the basic module and 2 elective modules, the certificate "nutrition expert" can be obtained with a certificate.  Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

85th Harden Conference: Dynamic Membrane Complexes: Respiration and Transport is organized by Biochemical Society and will be held from Aug 28 - 31, 2019 at Gustav Stresemann Institute, Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. This Conference has been approved for a maximum of 57 CPD credits. Description: Over the last ~5 years, cryo-electron microscopy single-particle reconstruction and tomography have resulted in an extraordinary amount of structural information of respiratory membrane complexes, the value of which is yet to be fully explored. Even more recently, the importance of membrane protein dynamics, formation of supercomplexes and organisation within microbial (inner membrane) or mitochondrial cristae has been highlighted. These new insights have shaken the classical view of respiratory chains. An interdisciplinary evaluation of these results with experts from neighbouring fields such as protein-protein interactions, computational biology, dynamic membrane transport mechanisms and lipid biophysics is now needed to retain and even accelerate this momentum. Translation to the clinical sciences or an enhanced understanding of the structural dynamics for the functional properties of respiration and transport can also provide an opportunity to open up new fields of research. The programme is designed to bring leaders in the fields of molecular respiration together with scientists working at the forefront of membrane transport, membrane structural biology and lipid biochemistry to create a more complete understanding of respiration and transport and explore further the relationship between function and disease. The application of advanced biophysical techniques to such systems is at the forefront of both method and research developments and new technologies could further revolutionise our understanding of membrane bioenergetics. The residential format of the Harden conference, widely known for its emphasis on free and open discussion, will encourage the exchange of the latest data and a critical discussion of the technical challenges that these developments face. Scientific sessions: • Complexes and supercomplexes: new perspectives on respiratory chains • Membrane organization • Membrane transport and regulation • Protein-protein interactions and lipids • Emerging hot topics • Bioenergetics and drug targets.

Chromatin Signatures During Differentiation: Integrated Omics is organized by European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and will be held from Sep 02 - 06, 2019 at EMBL Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Audience: This course is aimed at PhD students and post-doctoral researchers who seek to assess chromatin reorganization and/or are working in the field of neuronal development. Course Overview: Genomic and proteomic approaches have enabled breakthrough advances in the understanding of chromatin biology. This course attempts to integrate these omics approaches to understand the principle of chromatin operation and its biological relevance. Using a murine embryonic stem cells as a tractable model system, this course aims to analyze the composition and variation of chromatin components using antibody and small molecule tools, and the “epigenetic landscape” at key time points following the induction of cellular differentiation. During the 5 days of the course we will teach how murine stem cells can be differentiated into neuronal progenitors, how specific antibodies and small molecule drugs can be used to enrich for chromatin loci by ChIP- and Chem-seq approaches and how Mass Spectrometry and Next Generation Sequencing read-outs can be used to identify proteins and DNA associated with transcriptionally active chromatin. Combined with the experimental part, a series of lectures given by academic and industry experts in the field will expand the topic of chromatin players and the use of small molecule probes to understand chromatin biology. Modules/Resources: • Culture and neuronal differentiation of murine stem cells. • Chromatin sample preparation for genomic and proteomic analysis by means of antibodies and small molecules. • A meta-analysis of post-sequencing data. • Integration of MS proteomic data. Learning Outcomes: After this course participants should be able to: • Cultivate and differentiate neuronal murine stem cells • Prepare chromatin samples for genomic and proteomic analysis • ​Analysis genomic and proteomic data Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

46th Annual XLVI ESAO Congress is organized by MCI Deutschland GmbH and will be held from Sep 03 - 07, 2019 at Conti-Campus, Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany. Description: The key objective of ESAO 2019 is to promote advances in science and technology for the benefit of human health and contribute to the evolution of medical care. ESAO 2019 provides a unique platform for multidisciplinary discussions from different perspectives and will foster interdisciplinary collaborations in engineering, physical, biological and medical sciences. ESAO 2019 is the kind of International Congress that brings together not only researchers, scientists and clinicians but also industries over the world to interact and share of ideas, knowledge, experience, and research findings. The motto of the congress organized by Prof. Birgit Glasmacher and her team is „Smartificial devices for our future”. Since its creation, the members of our society have been involved in the development of artificial organs. Some of them are on the market, and often offer the patients a bridge to transplantation, when they are on waiting list, or allow the efficient replacement of lost functions in acute or chronic organ failure. With the progress of basic science, but also of technology, these artificial organs will become smarter and smarter: miniaturization, remote control, biohybrid systems will lead to incremental innovation or brand novel devices, sometimes considered as “advanced therapies”. These different approaches will have to face new challenges, such as the implementation of new regulations, or the questions of the society regarding the “augmented” human being Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Intracranial Neuroendoscopy - training course and workshop for safe application for Aesculap neursurgery instruments and products is organized by Aesculap Academy GmbH / Aesculap Akademie GmbH and will be held from Sep 04 - 06, 2019 at Aesculap Academy GmbH, Tuttlingen, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.  Target group: Medical Doctor / Clinical Specialist Conference Description: This three-day course will be conducted by pioneering surgeons, who will address the theoretical basis of neuroendoscopy, endoscopic anatomy and clinical applications of neuroendoscopy. Models and cadavers will be used to simulate procedures in a hands-on laboratory setting. These procedures will include management of complex hydrocephalus, intraventricular tumour removal and endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery.  Neuroendoscopy has become an accepted diagnostic and therapeutic tool for aneurysms, tumours, hydrocephalus and other intracranial lesions. However, indication and implementation of cranial, endoscopic operations is not possible without technical basics about visual systems, trocar systems and neuroendoscopes. Knowledge in cranial endoscopic anatomy and experience in the use of endoscopes for micro-neurosurgical operations are mandatory for the safe treatment of patients. Therefore, neurosurgeons and residents in neurosurgery have a need to be trained in using such a system in order to learn technical advances in neuroendoscopy and the variety of operative techniques that are available. Preface: This course concept is developed with a experienced faculty of neurosurgeons in cooperation with B. Braun Aesculap. It provides an excellent opportunity to learn both theoretical knowledge and practical skills about the safe application of the Aesculap neurosurgery instruments and products. The participating neurosurgeons will have the benefit of experts providing direction, supervising practical exercises and answering questions specific to minimally invasive approaches by means of, case studies and hands-on training Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Hamburg Specialist Hematology and Oncology Course is organized by Congress Organisation C. Schafer (COCS) GmbH and will be held on Sep 04, 2019 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 4/5 CME. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

EMBL Conference: Protein Synthesis and Translational Control is organized by European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and will be held from Sep 04 - 07, 2019 at EMBL Advance Training Centre, Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Conference Overview: Translational control is a major focus of attention that extends to many fields, including developmental biology, neurobiology, cell physiology, disease, synthetic and systems biology, among others. In addition to messenger RNA translation, the conference will feature advances in the fields of epitranscriptomics and non-coding RNAs that influence the translation process. Data-rich high-throughput technologies and structural advances will also be central, as they are pushing the field forward in manners that were unthinkable only few years ago, and are helping to create a “systems” view of translation. With the increasing appreciation of the integration between different steps of gene expression, the conference will explore the connections between translation, mRNA turnover, nonsense-mediated decay, RNA localisation, splicing, etc. Finally, many alternatives to the classical “one message makes one protein” concept are being unraveled which increase the potential for regulation. These alternatives will be featured, as well as the role of translational regulation in diseases as diverse as cancer, neurological disorders or infectious diseases. Session Topics: • Translation initiation • Ribosome, elongation, termination • Metabolism and disease • RNP complexes • Interconnections and turnover • Methods and systems approaches
