Nature Publishing Group and The New York Academy of Sciences announce the second Nature Chemical Biology Symposium: Chemical Neurobiology, on February 22-23, 2008 at The New York Academy of Sciences. (See here for location and accommodation details.) The 2008 symposium will explore how chemists and biologists are using the tools and philosophy of chemical biology to understand the molecular basis of neuronal function. The two-day meeting will comprise a series of four scientific sessions that look at distinct molecular functions of a neuron (chemical sensing, synapses and signalling, synthetic neurobiology and brain matters) and will conclude with a keynote session featuring Linda Buck, a pioneer in the field of neuroscience.
The meeting organisers are Terry Sheppard, Chief Editor of Nature Chemical Biology, together with his colleagues Joanne Kotz, Mirella Bucci and Catherine Goodman, as well as Stacie Bloom of the New York Academy of Sciences. See here for registration details.
