Training
Courses 2003
Hot
topics in structural genomics
Training
course organiser:
Rita Casadio; Dept of Biology,
University of Bologna, Italy.
The
training course will provide a unique forum both for experts
and young researchers to meet and fruitfully debate the most
recent achievements in the field of protein structure prediction.
Furthermore a specific goal of this training course is to
open a discussion on the methods that are presently available
for the prediction of protein structures, their accuracy and
limits with the purpose of stirring new ideas and prompting
new developments, both theoretically and practically. This
will highlight the role of predictive methods in structural
genomics and particularly on computational proteomics, with
benefits for the all-scientific community involved in studies
of functional genomics and proteomics.

New
Developments in Genomics for Biomedicine
(lecture
course)
Training
course organisers:
Franc Gubensek; Dept. Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology, J. Stefan Institute, Slovenia.
Peter Dovc; Zootechnical Department,
University of Ljubljana
Radovan Komel; Institute of Biochemistry,
University of Ljubljana
Damjana Rozman; Institute of
Biochemistry, University of Ljubljana
Borut Strukelj; Faculty of Pharmacy,
University of Ljubljana
Boris Turk; Dept. Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology, J. Stefan Institute
Maja Ravnikar; Laboratory for
Plant Physiolgy, National Institute of Biology
The
Lecture Course will be devoted to the broad area of genomic
research and will cover studies of human, animal and plant
genomes. It is designed to present current progress and it
is timely to offer an opportunity to young scientists and
other participants to discuss their problems with leading
European scientists and to be acquainted by them with new
developments in the different fields of genomics. There will
be a lot of time to foster discussion and collaboration where
appropriate with colleagues working in related research fields
and using similar approaches.

Biocrystallography:
From gene to drug
(lecture
course)
Training
course organisers:
Silvano Geremia; Dept of Chemistry
at the University of Trieste, Italy.
Cynthia Ebert; Dept of Organic
Chemistry at the University of Trieste, Italy.
Gianluca Tell, School of Medicine,
Trieste University, Italy.
The
four day course will focus on issues related to
- protein
expression (1 day)
- X-ray
structure determination (2 days)
- in
silico analysis (1 day)
Protein
crystallography is a highly interdisciplinary field where
the ideal biocrystallographer should be familiar with molecular
biology and protein biochemistry as well as biophysics, structural
biology and computational methods.
This training course will try to connect these methodologies
in such a way to cover the main experimental procedures essential
to follow the process of gene product characterization through
its three-dimensional atomic structure.
