backgrounds in experiment, simulation and theory
to discuss state-of-the-art advances on the
in-cell
behavior of biomolecules. The conferences below
will foster new knowledge and help identifying key
areas of future growth. Although these events are
happening pretty soon, you may still have time to
register.
1.
Telluride Science Research Center workshop on
Protein and Peptide Interactions in Cellular En-
vironments
, co-organized by
Joan Emma Shea
and
Michael Feig
from June 24 – June 28, 2014.
This workshop brings together researchers from
around the world in the beautiful city of Tellu-
ride, Colorado in a small group setting to provide
ample time for discussions on topics ranging from
macromolecular crowding, chaperone-mediated
folding, membrane-protein interactions and pro-
tein aggregation.

2.
CECAM workshop on the Self-organized Cyto-
plasm
, co-organized by
Trevor Dale
,
Richard Sear
,
and
Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Mora from July 16-
July 18, 2014. This workshop focuses on meso-
scale dynamic structures formed in the cell and
how they impact self-organized transport, protein
solution phase behavior, and fluid mechanics.
3.
FASEB Research Conference on Protein Folding in
the Cell
, co-organized by
Jeffrey L. Brodsky
and
Pa-
tricia L. Clark
from July 20 – July 25, 2014. This
conference will open with a keynote talk by past
BIV chair
Lila Gierasch
and includes presentations
on topics ranging from protein folding, chaperone
machines, amyloid formation, and evolution of
protein machines in the cellular environment.
