View Article  Investigating the blood-brain barrier - physiology, pathology and applications: 17 July 2007
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is composed of specialised endothelium which physically separates the central nervous system from brain microvasculature, and prevents movement of many substances between the two. Only a very limited number of molecules are able to cross the BBB including those that are lipid soluble, those for which there are specific transport systems and small molecular weight molecules (below about 500 Daltons), making drug delivery to the brain a real challenge. The aim of this meeting is to provide an update on BBB endothelial cell (patho)physiology and function and to discuss novel approaches CNS drug delivery.

View Article  DNA Microarrays: from target collections to profiles - 1 May 2007
"Following on from the very successful Euroscicon 2005 meeting "DNA micro arrays: from target collections to profiles", our 2007 meeting will focus more on downstream applications. The focus of this meeting will not as much be on the in-house preparation of micro-arrays, but rather on the subsequent data processing steps, validation strategies, and the translation of validated findings into biological / clinical context."
