SBIC CONFERENCE SUPPORT
The Society will consider providing financial support for conferences that have as their primary focus the field of biological inorganic chemistry. If you are organizing a conference and are considering requesting SBIC support, please first read the SBIC Conference Support Policy (pdf).
MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES
The following upcoming meetings and conferences are of potential interest to bioinorganic chemists. If you want to add events or information to this page, please send a brief description to the SBIC Web Administrator. Your event can also be included in the Society journal JBIC.
ICBIC—International Conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry
2007 July 15-20, ICBIC13, Vienna, Austria
2009 July 25-30, ICBIC14, Nagoya, Japan
2011 August 7-12, ICBIC15, Vancouver, BC, Canada
 AsBIC IV—Asian Conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry
2008 November 10-13
The fourth AsBIC, to be held on Jeju Island, Korea, focuses on the frontiers of biological inorganic chemistry and the exchange of ideas among participants from Asia and around the world. The second announcement (pdf) provides general information including conference venue, registration, and accommodation. You may also find detailed information on the AsBIC IV website.
Copper 08—6th International Conference on Copper and Interacting Metals
2008 October 11-15, Alghero, Sardinia, Italy
The sixth International Copper Meeting follows on from the previous successful meeting, also held in Alghero in 2006. Copper research now stretches from structures and electronic features on the one side to copper's role in human diseases like Menkes disease, Wilson disease, or Alzheimer disease on the other. This meeting will cover as many of these varied aspects as possible. The meeting schedule is designed to provide a maximum amount of time for informal discussions and personal interactions.
EUROBIC 9, 9th European Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conference
2008 September 2-6
This biennial conference, to be held in Wrocław, Poland, follows meetings in Aveiro, Portugal (2006), Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany (2004), and Lund, Sweden (2002).
14th Brazilian Meeting on Inorganic Chemistry
1st Latin American Meeting on Biological Inorganic Chemistry
2008 August 31-September 4
Held at the Mercure Grand Hotel Internacional Foz, Foz do Iguaçu-PR, Brazil. Further details on the scientific program, invited speakers, call for papers, fees, transportation and general information about the meeting are available at the website. The deadline for submissions of abstracts is May 30th, 2008.
The Fourth International Conference on Metals and Genetics—ICMG2008
2008 July 21-24
For further details on the conference, hosted by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Paris Descartes University, Paris, France, please visit the congress website.
38th ICCC—International Conferences on Coordination Chemistry
2008 July 20-25
The 38th ICCC will be held in Jerusalem, Israel.
Gordon Research Conferences
Gordon Research Conferences is a non-profit organization providing an international forum for frontier research in the biological, chemical, and physical sciences.
Environmental Bioinorganic Chemistry: From Molecular Models to Global Cycles
2008 June 15-20, Waterville Valley, NH USA
EBIC brings together those studying biotic-inorganic interfaces from nanometers-nanoseconds to kilometers-gigayears, mingling chemists, ecologists, geneticists, oceanographers, computational biologists, and others. Topics range from transport, enzymology, and homeostasis in single cells or organisms to the environmental processes they experience and influence. Distinct among metals meetings for its evolution and geo- and aquatic-chemistry aspects, EBIC's view of the Periodic Table also includes radionuclides, metalloids, halides, silicon, and non-metal nutrients so as to identify cross-cutting themes in bioinorganic chemistry.
Iron-Sulfur Enzymes
2008 June 8-13, New London, NH USA
The overall focus of this conference is the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of enzymes and electron transfer proteins that contain Fe-S bonds, especially Fe-S in various clusters. The meeting will include sessions on Historical Perspectives, Biosynthesis and Genomics, Fundamental Fe-S Chemistry, Hydrogenase & BioEnergy, Nitrogenase, SAM Enzymes, Fe-S Enzymes in Health & Disease, CO Dehydrogenase and AcetylCoA Synthase & BioEnergy, and possibly Fe-S and the Origin of Life.
Metals in Biology
2009 January 25-30, Ventura, CA USA
Metal ions play critical roles in over one third of all enzymes, and are involved in a number of important biosynthetic pathways. The molecular-level details regarding metalloenzyme function emerge from several complementary lines of study, at the interface of chemistry, biology, and physics. The Metals in Biology Gordon Research Conference brings together investigators with a collective expertise that spans all of these areas of research. It is one of the longest-running GRCs (starting in 1962).
Metals in Medicine
2008 June 29-July 4, Andover, NH USA
The 2008 Metals in Medicine Gordon Research Conference will be held at Procter Academy in Andover, NH. The conference program features special overview sessions on Sunday/Monday by leaders in the field highlighting Global Opportunities in Metals in Medicine in key clinical areas (Oncology, Diagnostics, Imaging, Infectious Diseases, Cardiovascular Disease, Neurodegenerative Disease, and Metabolic Disease and Aging). In addition, emerging aspects of metal-based Nanotechnology and its role in the evolving field of nanomedicine will be featured.
Protein Cofactors, Radicals, and Quinones
2008 January 20-25, Ventura, CA USA
This conference will focus on the fascinating mechanistic chemistry of cofactor generation and utilization by proteins and enzymes, with particular emphasis on radical-containing cofactors, metal cofactors involved in radical reactions, biosynthesis of and mechanisms involving complex metal cofactors, quinone cofactors derived from amino acid residues, covalently cross-linked amino acid residues, and the roles of metals in cofactor generation and utilization. |
