The International Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Seville, Spain
4 September 2012 - 9 September 2012
Austria
World-class researches, including six authors who have been recognized with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry or Medicine, will participate from 4 to 9 September in one of the most prestigious scientific and academic summit, the International Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Seville will host the event that has been jointly organized by the European Biochemical Societies (FEBS). For the first time since his foundation in 1955, the IUBMB is going to develop their Congress in Spain, being the capital of Andalusia the city selected for this event. As a consequence to the election of Seville has played an important role Miguel Ángel de la Rosa Acosta, Professor of the University of Seville and director of the Scientific Research Center “Isla de la Cartuja” (cicCartuja), whose candidacy was approved six years ago, at the convention held in the Japanese city of Kyoto.
There is no doubt that one of the main attractions of this International Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, entitled “From Single Molecules to Systems Biology”, is the participation of six Noble Prizes who hold some conferences at the Palace of Congresses and Exhibitions of Seville (Fibes). Tim Hunt, Ferid Murad, Ada Yonath, Hamilton Smith, Robert Huber y Venki Ramakrishnan, who are laureates by the Swedish Academy, will be involved in this congress contributing each one to develop their knowledge in disciplines like biology, chemistry, medicine or pharmacy. These researchers will speak about future challenges of science and progress in specific areas, such as the application of stem cells, the discovery of new medicines and the development of advanced therapies against diseases like cancer, malaria or Alzheimer.
These scientists, international acclaimed, joins them in Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology others who, although they have been awarded with the Nobel Prize, have a considerable career. This is the case of Bruce Alberts, scientific advisor of the President of the United States, Barack Obama; the Chinese Sai-Juan Chen, director of the Shanghai Institute of Hematology, expert in the treatment of leukemia; the Japanese Kazutoshi Mori, director of the Laboratory of Biophysics, University of Kyoto; the Peruvian Carlos Bustamante, a specialist in process control of gene expression and professor at the University of Berkeley; the German Mathias Mann, director of the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry; and the Spanish Joan Guinovart, responsible for the scientific program of the congress, Carlos López Otín, professor at the University of Oviedo and National Research Award, student of genome sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Maria Blasco, director of the National Cancer Research Center, and Joan Massagué, Prince of Asturias Prize in 2004 and director of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
A total of 2,500 scientists from various research centers, some laboratories and international universities will meet in the conference which, during six days, will convert Seville in a world reference of biochemistry and molecular biology, two greatest disciplines for the progress and welfare.
