It is our great pleasure to extend you an invitation to participate in the II International Symposium on Myosin V (May 7^th – 9^th) and II International Training Course on Cell Motility, Molecular Motors and the Cytoskeleton (May 03^rd – 6^th and 11^th – 14^th), which will be held in Rio de Janeiro and in Armação de Búzios. Búzios, on the Rio de Janeiro coast will provide us a relaxed atmosphere to talk about cytoskeleton, cell motility, and the roles of class V myosins. One full day will be dedicated to a social and schooner ride along the coast. We are planning talks by investigators who have made important contributions to the understanding of the molecular basis of cell motility with focus on myosin-V. We also will have a poster section where recent results on cellular and molecular aspects of cytoskeletal dynamics can be presented and discussed.
