Invitation
On behalf of the International Structural Genomics Organisation (ISGO) I cordially invite you to the ISGO International Conference on Structural Genomics, to be held in Berlin, October 10-13, 2002. ICSG 2002 comes at an exciting time when a number of structural genomics projects have been established worldwide, and first results of their work can be presented.
ICSG 2002 is intended to provide an overview over the international structural genomics endeavor, summarize recent progress in the methods employed in high-throughput protein structure analysis, and foster international collaboration.
The scientific topics covered in ICSG 2002 include functional genomics,bioinformatics, and methods for high-throughput protein production, NMR,and X-ray protein structure analysis. Emphasis will be given to structural genomics results and their relevance to biology and medicine.
ICSG 2002 is jointly funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), the European Commission through the SPINE network, and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC). The conference will be held in the newly built Communication Center of the MDC on the Berlin-Buch research campus.
Prior to ICSG 2002 there will be satellite workshops on Automation of X-ray Structure Determination for Structural Genomics and on Cell-free Protein Production.
