This meeting, to be chaired by Professor George Salmond, follows on from the previous Bacteriophage meeting in 2006 and will look at the current and potential applications of bacteriophages in the fields of biotechnology, agriculture and medicine. Phage therapy and bacteriophage vaccines will be discussed and the prospects for commercialisation of this technology will be examined. more »

This meeting will bring together experts studying the mechanism of action of IRES elements and their role in translational control of viral and cellular protein synthesis, to review the latest research in this area. In addition, there will also be a focus on the biotechnological exploitation of these elements, for example in gene therapy and protein expression vectors. more »

"Proteomics is an exciting area of research that holds promise for the future. It is widely accepted that proteomics holds the potential to identify new diagnostic and or prognostic biomarkers, and drug targets for the development of new therapeutic approaches for fighting disease. Proteomics, the large scale analysis of gene expression at the protein level incorporates structural, interaction and expression proteomics. Using expression proteomics, the aim is to detect and identify all, or a subset, of the proteins in a given sample and find out which of these proteins are present, absent, or differentially expressed in a related sample subject to as specific variation. For example, proteomics enables the identification of protein alterations responsible for the development and the pathological outcome of disease leading to the discovery of new protein markers, “biomarkers”, for diagnostic/prognostic purposes and of novel molecular targets for drug discovery. A combination of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry are the most widely used tools in this area of proteomics, although many other technologies are also currently available and continually emerging.
This meeting examines the use of proteomics in the identification of biomarkers using a variety of old, new and developing technologies."

Dendritic cells continue to provoke much interest amongst immunologists by virtue of their key role in a number of aspects of the immune response. In this meeting, we will aim to address some of these and will cover topics such as: types of DC, DC markers and maturation, the importance of DC in innate and adaptive immunity and their use in immunotherapy. more »

Participant Feedback
"It was a pleasure to chair the meeting, I am not just paying lip service either, the delegates were very enthusiastic, in fact we put an impromptu sessions on nanoparticles into the lunch time break, this was a request generated by the delegates, so I was very impressed, it was very well organised and I felt my time was very well spent" - Ian Dimmick, Flow Cytometry Core Facility Manager, Newcastle University, UK "Many thanks for your email and delegate list - it was a most enjoyable and informative meeting" Professor John Gallagher, The Paterson Institute for Cancer Research, Manchester, UK "It was an interesting event indeed with some follow up for my group - a possible collaboration.….I did enjoy the meeting very much"- Dr NinoPorakishvili, University of Westminster, UK "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak at your meeting yesterday. It was a very interesting meeting and provided a great opportunity to exchange ideas among investigators in the innate immunity/TLR field". Dr Michael Carty, Trinity College Dublin "I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting". Professor Neil Gow, University of Aberdeen , UK " It was jolly good meeting/ Look forward to recieving the proceedings and also the e-mails and addresses of the participants. This meeting aroused my old itchings for revisiting some unfinished science". Professor PK Das, University of Amsterdam, Holland "I thought the lecture theatre was superb and the organisation was top notch." Steven Jones, DakoCytomation Ltd, UK "Thanks for a delightful and interesting meeting. I think it worked just great with the mix of academic and company-based presentations and the whole program felt comprehensive and important" - Fredrik Ponten, MD, PhD Department of Genetics and Pathology, Uppsala University, HPR research group, Sweden "I enjoyed the scientific aspects of the conference also the opportunity of meeting so many delegates in our field" Professor Ten Feizi, Director, Glycosciences Laboratory, Imperial College London, UK "Thank you for the opportunity to speak, which I hope was interesting for the majority of the audience. I would like to say that the organistion of the event was excellent" Andy Sutcliffe, Procognia Ltd,UK "A big thanks to you and all your team for putting on the excellent meeting yesterday. The meeting place was great, and the organisation was superb. No hitches at all from my point of view. From the conversations I had with some of the delegates, it seems that the meeting was well received. There really is no other regular forum for these kinds of discussions in the UK , so it was a very welcome opportunity".- Professor. Julian Ma , Hotung Chair of Molecular Immunology, Dept. of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (CMM), St. George 's Hospital Medical School, London "A civilised exchange of views on differences in findings – clear presentations" - Jan Clark, CIMR "I thought the day was successful. I would be interested in doing something similar again" Kind regards Professor Andrew Peters - Director of ARPEXAS Ltd, University of Nottingham, UK "Liked the fact the speakers were available to answer questions during the coffee time. It was useful having the companies give seminars as opposed to just having them at their stand"- Sarah Burl, Infant Immunology Group, Virology Department, MRC The Gambia "Thoroughly enjoyed the meeting last week - just such a shame that I could not stay for the whole day - but what I did hear was very interesting. I certainly will come to more of the events as some of the titles on the programme look really good" - Professor Diana Watt, Professor of Human Anatomy, Brighton and Sussex Medical School, UK "We enjoyed the day very much indeed and look forward to attending another event soon".- Scott Reid. IAH Pirbright, Institute for Animal Health "Good location, staff very helpful, Tony Warford entertaining and knowledgeable chairman" - Pauline Connor, North Middlesex Hospital , London "Thank you for organising such a useful meeting. I know that it was apprecaited by many colleagues and that it provoked good discussion and scientific debate" - Dr Paul Duprex, School of Biomedical Sciences, The Queen's University of Belfast, Ireland "Well organised, interesting speakers were chosen" - Philippa Roddam, St Jude Children's Research Hospital , Memphis, USA "Very high quality talks and speakers"- Joanna Bridger PhD, Senior L ec turer, Centre for Cell and Chromosome Biology, Biosciences, Brunel University "I enjoyed the meeting, the duration of each of the speakers was just right and was pitched at just the right level for the audience. Great forum for meeting people and discussing the subject matter, overall very informative" - Vivien Jacobs, AstraZenea "I have found the talks very stimulating. The content was of high standard .

I found the meeting interesting, useful and enjoyable. Well done to the organisers". Paula Murphy B. A .(mod), PhD., Lecturer, Zoology Department, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland " Very much enjoyed the event - would definitely speak at a future EuroSciCon event if asked again". Chris Mason MB BS, PhD FRCS, Regenerative Medicine Bioprocessing Uni, Advanced Centre for Biochemical Engineering, University College, London " It was an enjoyable meeting, and as someone starting out in the proteomics field on a new collaborative grant very informative" . Peter J Charles, Chief Biomedical Scientist, Division of Immunology, Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust "The very informal setting enabled lively discussion in refreshment breaks" - Louise Jopling, UCB Group "Very well organised, friendly staff, good quality talks" - Professor John A Bryant, Chair, Christians in Science, School of Biosciences, University of Exeter "The event was very enjoyable and interesting. There was enough time for discussions after talks and during coffee/lunch breaks". - Swanand Gore "I found the meeting 'Visualising transcription, gene positioning and reorganisation in the nucleus' very very interesting. I'll keep into real consideration to came back to your next meetings" - Dr. MariaPaola Recalcati, Istituto A uxologico Italiano, Milan, Italy 'It was a very good meeting for Guava and I look forward to joining a few more in the future'. - Dr Paul Wheeler, UK Sales Manager, Guava Technologies Inc.
