Sackler Colloquium of the National Academy of Sciences on "Self-Perpetuating Structural States in Biology, Disease and Genetics" to be held Friday through Sunday, March 22-24, 2002 at the Academy in Washington, DC. The Colloquium is being co-organized by Susan Lindquist (Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research) and Steve Henikoff (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center). The colloquium progam begins Friday night with the Sackler lecture by Susan Lindquist, entitled "Self-Perpetuating Structural States in Biology, Disease and Genetics," and is open to the public. The colloquium sessions will cover the following topics: -- Self-Perpetuating Protein Conformations in Biological Systems Speakers: Charles Weismann, Reed Wickner, Susan Liebman, Eric Kandel and Kausik Si -- Protein Conformation Changes, Amyloid and Disease Speakers: Erich Wanker, Nancy Bonini, Ulrich Hartl, Chris Dobson,and Jeffrey W. Kelly -- Chromatin Structural States Speakers: Gary Felsenfeld, Shiv Grewal, Susan Lindquist, Dan Gottschling, and Lori Wallrath -- Self-Perpetuating Genetic Interactions Speakers: David Low, Steve Henikoff, Eric Selker, Steve Jacobsen,and Marjori Matzke The complete preliminary program, registration information, logistical and travel details, and poster information, can be found at the Colloquium's web site: http://www.national-academies.org/nas/colloquia I hope that you will be able to attend this meeting, at which attendance is limited to 600 registered participants. Please share this invitation with graduate students, post-docs, and others who may find this topic of interest.
