Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: 4th Supply Chain Logistics Forum to be held on 10/24/17 - 10/26/17.

Despite a surge in new technologies and improved processes to optimize logistics operations, the oil and gas sector has been a laggard in their adoption.

Leaders from within the logistics and supply chain functions are adopting automation, BI, analytics, IoT and mobility solutions to control costs and improve efficiencies during the downturn. In addition, they have been improving their logistics processes to streamline and rightsize their logistics operations.

O&G Supply Chain Logistics returns to Houston for it’s 4^th year this October to provide a unique platform to share successes and lessons learnt during the downturn from companies in the oil and gas supply chain.

Hear practical strategies from operators, oilfield services, equipment and materials suppliers and 3PLs on:

1. Embedding technology, automation and analytics to reduce costs, minimize risks and improve efficiency
2. Rightsizing and streamlining the supply chain and logistics to industry headwinds
3. Embedding compliance and sustainability to mitigate financial and reputational risks
4. Leveraging the emergence of materials marketplaces

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Genome Integrity Discussion Group to be held on 10/02/17.

The connection between cancer and genome integrity is widely appreciated. Importantly, the greater New York Metropolitan area is unparalleled in the concentration of world leading research on chromosome biology and function, as well as for research at the interface between chromosome integrity and the dynamics of malignancy. The Genome Integrity Discussion Group capitalize on this concentration of excellence, providing a forum for interaction between basic- and clinically-oriented research groups working in these fields. These meetings not only facilitate synergy between labs, but also provide a context in which previously unappreciated complementarities can be revealed.

In that spirit, the talks will cover a broad range of areas, including, but not limited to the DNA damage response and cancer predisposition, DNA replication, transcription, chromatin modification, recombination, cell cycle control, telomeres, chromosome segregation, epigenetic states, as well as the emergence of new technologies relevant to research in genome integrity. Although a primary focus is upon basic mechanisms and processes, these areas are pertinent to cancer and myriad human disease states, and it is expected that this will be reflected in the substance of our discussions. At each of the meetings, two early career scientists (students or postdocs) are selected to present data.
