TOPIM'08 Hot Topics in Molecular Imaging: imaging of nano-objects
Workshop organisers:
Bertrand Tavitian: CEA, France
Frédéric Ducongé: CEA, France
Andreas Jacobs: Cologne, Germany
Patrick Cumi: Evry, France
Eva Pebay-Peroula: Grenoble, France
Silvio Aime: Turin, Italy
TOPIM is a yearly 5-day workshop for 70 attendees from academia and industry. Red-hot aspects of Research in Molecular Imaging are discussed in an exceptional environment likely to stimulate interdisciplinary exchanges. In 2008, TOPIM will discuss "Imaging of nano-objects", in order to develop the use of in vivo molecular imaging during the conception of smart nanoparticules.

Systems Biology in Medicine
Workshop organiser:
Pablo Villoslada: Center for Applied Medical Research, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain
Systems biology (SB) is a growing area that aims to understand biological systems at an holistic level. SB integrates theoretical and experimental research. SB has applications in various areas related to medicine. However little is known in the medical profession about the theories and techniques behind SB. This workshop is oriented to establish a permanent link between medical doctors and SB scientists fruitful for both fields.

Dynamics of Cell Signal Systems
Workshop organisers:
Kjetil Taskén: The Biotechnology Centre of Oslo, University of Oslo, Norway
Miles Houslay: IBLS, University of Glasgow, UK
Johannes Bos: University Medical Centre Utrecht, The Netherlands
Jacques Pouyssegur: Institute of Signalling, Developmental Biology and Cancer Research, Nice, France
Peter Downes: School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, UK
John Scott : The Biotechnology Centre of Oslo, University of Oslo, Norway
Information flow through dynamically regulated multiprotein complexes is finely tuned by the opposing activities of signal transduction and termination enzymes and spatiotemporally regulated by anchoring and
docking molecules. New techniques permit detection of protein-protein interactions and physiological events in real time inside cells. Combined with computational analysis and systems biology such data can be used to understand how dynamic protein networks propagate, process and disseminate second messenger signals at the molecular and cellular level.

The Computational Challenges of the Next Generation DNA Sequencing
Workshop organisers:
Jan Komorowski: The Linnaeus Centre for Bioinformatics, Uppsala University and Warsaw University
Philipp Bucher: Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC), Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) and École Polytechnique Fédéral de Lausanne (EPFL)
New sequencing technologies have started to generate a new burst of biological data of different types. To manage and analyse these data, new computational methods and infrastructures will be required which are not yet ready. To identify the challenges and
bottlenecks in ultra-high-throughput sequence analysis, we will organise a European meeting that will bring together the leading bioinformatics and computational biology experts with first-hand experience in this field.
