Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Workshop on Techniques in Modeling Human Cancer in Mice 2017 to be held on 8/20/17 - 8/27/17
This workshop provides training in the use of genetically defined laboratory mice as tools for asking questions about gene function and the role of genetics in the biology of cancer. Lectures will be given in the morning by world-renowned scientists, followed by intensive hands-on laboratory sessions. Didactic lectures will reflect current knowledge of modeling cancer in a variety of organ sites and will emphasize common themes in cancer research and modeling. During the hands-on laboratory sessions, participants will develop skills in cancer model manipulations and surgical techniques that they will be able to apply to their own research. The techniques learned are broadly applicable to many cancer types, such as brain, breast, colon, leukemia/lymphoma, and prostate cancer. Participants completing the course will acquire a practical knowledge of how to characterize and analyze specific mouse cancer models.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: First Conference on Biomotors, Virus Assembly, and Nanobiotechnology Applications to be held on 8/16/17 - 8/19/17
We are pleased to announce the First Conference on Biomotors, Virus Assembly, and Nanobiotechnology Applications to be held August 16-19, 2017 at the Fawcett Center near the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH, USA. We have invited some of the leading scientists and engineers working in the diverse fields of chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, microbiology, cell biology, materials, and nanotechnology to participate.
Due to the great potential in the application of biomotors and viral components in nanotechnology, one motivation of organizing this conference is to promote the participation of more bioscientists into the nanobiotechnology field. Our cross-disiplinary approach to virus assembly, biomotor, and nanobiotechnology research is designed to foster collaborations among scientists.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory: Cell Death to be held on 8/15/17 - 8/19/17
We are pleased to announce the 12th meeting on Cell Death, to be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory from Tuesday evening, August 15, until after lunch on Saturday, August 19, 2017. The meeting will cover the field of cell death and apoptosis by specific sessions devoted to the topics listed below.
The format of the meeting will include morning and evening sessions consisting of short talks, limited to approximately 15 minutes, principally on unpublished work. Because the audience will be composed of investigators with rather diverse backgrounds, the session chairs will anchor each session with a 20-minute talk to provide an overview of the specific area. The other submitted abstracts will be presented in poster sessions in the free afternoons. As usual at Cold Spring Harbor Meetings, all abstracts of both poster and platform sessions will be published in an abstract book given to all the participants.
