*This is a reminder that the closing date for applications for*
*EMBO workshop: 'RNA viruses: replication, evolution and drug design' -
cosponsored by VIZIER, Vienna, Austria, 27th -30th August 2007*
* is the 20th June 2007 *
Please visit our website for workshop and registration details:
http://www.embl-hamburg.de/workshops/2007/virus
The number of attendants is limited to 120 and therefore
participants will be selected from the pool of applications based on
their potential contribution to the workshop. We encourage submission of
abstracts for poster presentations. Some of these will be selected for
oral presentation.
The workshop is planned to have three connected themes, namely
evolution of RNA viruses, the replication machinery of RNA viruses and
the perspectives for, and development of, new antiviral agents.
The objectives of the workshop are:
* to bring together experts on different virus families, to increase
communication between them and to underline similarities and discuss
differences in RNA virus replication machineries
* to provide a forum for young researchers to meet with experts
covering a wide range of topics and to discuss their current and future
work.
* to describe current efforts in the development of antiviral
compounds (including the different methodologies being used) and to
identify where more information/research is needed.
* to discuss the latest insights in RNA virus evolution, in
particular in connection to the emergence of new RNA virus infections,
and assess which lessons from the past could be useful to combat newly
emerging RNA viruses.
* to discuss the wealth of structural information on RNA virus
enzymes that is currently being produced due to the world-wide efforts
in structural biology.
The workshop is sponsored by EMBO and cosponsored by VIZIER
(http://www.vizier-europe.org).
