QSAR - Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics for Medicine - 2nd International Conference

SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE "GENOMICS, PROTEOMICS AND BIOINFORMATICS
FOR MEDICINE".

Second International Conference "Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics
for Medicine" will be held on July 14-19, 2003.

The scientific part of the conference will be composed of three major
topics:

1. Genomics
1.1. Genome individuality and human genotyping.
1.2. SNPs in diagnostics of human diseases.
1.3. Complete microbial genomes and host-pathogen interactions.

2. Proteomics.
2.1. Human proteome index: myth or reality?
2.2. Serum biomarkers as diagnosticums of human diseases.
2.3. Proteomics as a basis for discovery of new drug targets.

3. Bioinformatics.
3.1. Bioinformatics as a basis for integrative computational biology.
3.2. Computer-aided drug discovery.
3.3. Bioinformatics application of grids and clusters.

In the framework of the Conference four special symposia will be
arranged:

4.1. Peptidomics.
4.2. Cytochromes P450 superfamily.
4.3. Immunoglobulins.
4.4. Emerging technologies.

We are pleased to inform you that the meeting will take place aboard the
comfortable ship going down the Volga River from Moscow to Ples and
back.

Such mode of the Conference provides excellent possibilities for
participants to take part in scientific (formal and informal)
discussions all 24 hours per day.

The participants of the conference will also have a unique chance to
visit the oldest Russian towns such as Uglich, the view of which as it
is approached from the Volga River is especially lovely with the
Cathedral of the Resurrection and St. John's Church Looming on the
horizon. Yaroslavl, founded in the beginning of the XI century by
Yaroslav Mudry (Yaroslav the Wise). The city has lots of historical and
architectural monuments. The most famous of them are
Spaso-Preobrazhensky monastery and the Church of Ilia Prorok, the
churches of Nicola Nadein and of Rozhdestva Khristova. And Kostroma, one
of the most beautiful towns in the "Golden Ring" cities of Russia, with
its Bogoyavlensky and Ipatievsky monasteries, and the Trinity Church. It
belongs to the years 1650-1652. Its well-paintings, created in 1685,
depicts the events of Religious History, which take their places in
front of wonderful chambers and palaces, green meadows and woods,
mountains, covered with grass and flowers.

The social program for active participants as well as for accompanying
persons will include a Welcome Reception, Excursions and informal
Banquet.

Due to the limited number of rooms at the ship, the number of
participants will be limited too, therefore "first come, first served"
principle will be applied.
