International Symposium and Training
Course on
Cell
Motility, Molecular Motors and the Cytoskeleton
Rio de Janeiro – Brazil
May 27 – Jun 07, 2002
Organizing
Committee:
L. C. Cameron
(Brazil); Ernesto Carafoli (Italy); Roy Larson (Brazil); John Mercer (USA);
Joseph Wolenski (USA)
Objectives:
The main topic will
be Molecular Motors and the Cytoskeleton. We plan to have a ~ 3 h lectures
(each morning) and 4 students passing each day (practical) with an investigator
who has made important contributions to our understanding of the molecular
basis of cell motility. Two days (Sat and Sun) will be reserved for a
Symposium, where recent results can be shown and discussed. Students are
strongly encouraged to participate in the poster section. Each researcher will
be at least for 7 days in the course (five lab days and two days in the
symposium, May 27 – Jun 02 or Jun 01-07).
Programme:
The course will
schedule 10 lectures on the state of art in the area of molecular motors and
the cytoskeleton. The laboratory part of the course will consist of 10
different experiments. The students accepted in the practical course will have
access to all lectures and, on a rotative basis, to all practicals.
