Objective
The Sixth European Symposium on Calcium Binding proteins will be held in Paris 14-18 June 2000. It will be the 6th symposium of a series of European Symposia on Calcium Binding Proteins in Normal & Transformed Cells that are held every second year in different European cities. In line with the previous symposia in this series, the Paris meeting aims at encouraging exchanges & discussions in various areas of the role of calcium in cell biology & diseases. Topics expected to be covered range from calcium sensing & signalling to molecular aspects of calcium-regulated events & the characteristics of different calcium binding proteins. Among the latter,C2-domain proteins, annexins, EF-hand proteins, extra-cellular proteins will be covered with respect to their structure & function. Structural information obtained by different techniques will be presented. The functional approaches, including the generation of dominant negative mutants as well as gene knock-outs both at the cellular level & in mice are gaining momentum.
A large number of communications will address the use of new technologies localising in real time calcium-binding proteins in relation to calcium levels by the use of new probes, new optical & electronic devices. Finally, in addition to covering aspects of basic research, new results establishing correlation between proteins involved in calcium-stimulus response coupling & human diseases will be presented. The meeting will be attended by around 150 to 200 persons. It will be a forum for discussing novel scientific results both during the talks & in the poster sessions. An important participation of companies developing new devices & new soft wares is in discussion. They will present material & will offer workshops in the afternoon. A large number of young researchers are expected (which is the reason for asking EC funding for this conference) & they will be given the opportunity to present their data in short oral communications.
