FEBS MPST 2011
September 2-7, 2011, Spetses, Greece
Dear Participants of the 3rd FEBS-MPST 2011 Advanced Lecture Course,
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your active participation in the scientific sessions and social events of the 3rd FEBS Advanced Lecture Course “Matrix Pathobiology, Signaling and Molecular Targets”, held at the “Anargyrios & Korgialenios School of Spetses” and Spetses Hotel, 2-7 September 2011.
The scientific sessions, which included invited lectures, selected talks, poster presentations/panel discussions and speakers’ corners, thanks to your very active participation and interest, were all superb. Moreover, the social events created a very friendly atmosphere for interactions between the participants as well as the young scientists with the outstanding experts.
The success of this meeting inaugurates forthcoming events in this scientific field and I would be grateful you’re joining us in future events.
Nikos Karamanos
Invitation
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is a pleasure to invite you to the 3rd FEBS-MPST Advanced Lecture Course, which follows the previous successful FEBS-MPST 2009 and 2007 meetings.
Based on the great advances occurred during the last years in the field of matrix pathobiology and the increasing research interest on matrix organization and the matrix-mediated regulation of the various cell functions, the FEBS-MPST 2011 will offer oral sessions with invited plenary lectures, general lectures/tutorials, selected short talks related to the topics of the presented abstracts, participant poster presentations, panel discussions and speakers’ corner. These sessions will address both basic and applied science topics that appeal to the range of participants working in the fields of matrix Pathobiology and Pathobiochemistry, structural biology and cell and molecular biology.
The organizing committee has put together an outstanding group of internationally recognised speakers. The lectures and tutorials will provide you with an update important new knowledge covering key areas of the field. The most important goal of this course is to bring together scientists from biochemistry, life sciences and molecular cell biology on an important and rapidly developing scientific field and to create the environment for a superb science, warm collegiality, and an all-around rewarding experience during this special time of year.
We are looking forward to welcome you in Spetses island, Greece for an exciting and memorable scientific meeting.
Nikos Karamanos
Chairman of the Organizing Committee
