World Practical Course
II International School
of Biochemistry, Molecular & Cell Biology
Current tools in cell biology: probing normal and
pathological cell functions
IV International Symposium on Myosin V - 21 Years
of History
Aug 03-14, 2009
Rio de Janeiro
– Brazil
It is our great pleasure
to extend to you an invitation to participate in the EMBO course (Aug 3rd
- 6th and 11th – 14th) and the IV
International Symposium on Myosin V (Aug 7th – 10th),
both being held in Rio de Janeiro.
The main topic will be
Cell biology – discussed in a relaxed atmosphere with 40 advanced students. We
plan to have two 1.5 h lectures (each morning), followed by five students
spending time each day on practical experiments with an investigator who has
made important contributions to our understanding of the molecular basis of the
cell. Each researcher is going to participate at least seven days in the course
(four lab days and during the Symposium). Students are strongly advised to
bring their own samples to perform short experiments during the course.
The Symposium will occur
in Armação dos Búzios located on the Rio de Janeiro. The city will provide a
relaxed atmosphere to talk about Biochemistry, Molecular & Cell Biology.
One full day will be dedicated to a social event such as a schooner ride along
the coast. We also will have a poster section where recent results on cellular
and molecular aspects of cell biology can be presented and discussed.
We are looking forward to
see you in Rio.
