Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Gene Regulatory Networks for Development to be held on 10/08/17 - 10/21/17.
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are key to the genomic control of development in animals and plants. To study GRNs requires insights from various research fields, including systems biology, developmental and evolutionary biology, as well as functional genomics, and provides an integrative approach to fundamental research questions in biology. This course introduces the concepts of GRNs, and teaches experimental and computational methods used to study them, through highly interactive lectures, discussions, group projects, and practical tutorials. We will cover a broad range of topics, including transcriptional control systems, the structural organization of hierarchical networks, developmental functions of GRN circuit modules, GRN evolution, and computational modeling using BioTapestry as well as Boolean and quantitative mathematical approaches. Students will learn how to generate GRN models based on data extracted from the literature, and will generate computational models to analyze dynamic circuit behavior. We will present and discuss a broad range of experimental approaches and how they are effectively used for studying gene regulation and developmental GRNs. Examples of experimentally solved developmental GRNs from a variety of organisms, such as flies, sea urchins, frogs, chicken, and mice, will be explored. Students are encouraged to share their research projects in a poster session, and to discuss with course faculty how to apply the approaches taught in the course to their own research questions. The course is intended for advanced graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Applied Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology 2017 to be held on 10/04/17.
The Applied Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology conference is a forum for exchanging information, generating ideas and discussing strategies focused on industry-specific applications of nanomaterials, their manufacturing, characterization, safety and in vivo behavior. Pharmaceutical nanomaterials consist of building units that have at least one dimension in the nanometer range such as nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and nanofibers, and are used in a variety of applications ranging from drug, and biologics delivery, cancer therapy, imaging, theranostics, and medical devices. The Applied Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology conference is a gathering of experts in the field and was developed to fill the void between the academic meetings, commercial conferences, and large trade shows, by offering a small, and very focused meeting organized by pharmaceutical leaders and produced by a non-profit organization.
