4th FEBS Advanced Lecture Course (FEBS-MPST 2013)

Based on the great advances occurred during the last years in the field of Matrix Pathobiology and the increasing research interest on matrix organization and the matrix-mediated regulation of the various cell functions, the FEBS-MPST 2013 will offer oral sessions with invited plenary lectures, general lectures/tutorials, selected talks related to the topics of the presented abstracts, participant poster presentations, panel discussions and speakers’ corner. These sessions will address both basic and applied science topics that appeal to the range of participants working in the fields of matrix pathobiology, structural biology and cell and molecular biology.

Plenary Symposia (Matrix Pathobiology / Interactions and Functions of Matrix Macromolecules / Glycobiology and Metabolic Regulation of ECM molecules / Matrix-mediated Signaling and EMT / Cell Receptors Signaling and ECM based Nanotechnology / Signaling and Disease Molecular Targeting / Matrix Regulation in Health and Disease) will be introduced and moderated by leading scientists acting as discussion leaders.

The meeting will further cover topics related to ongoing development in the fields of:
· Cell surface, interactions and signaling
· Metalloproteinases and other proteases
· Matrix organization and assembly
· Cancer Stem Cell Biology, Biomarkers and Pharmacological Targeting

A limited number of FEBS Youth Travel Funds (FEBS YTF) for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers within five years of obtaining a PhD will be available, upon application, covering registration fees and expenses toward travelling. Talks will be selected from the submitted abstract. Young investigator awards will also available upon application.

The most important goal of the FEBS-MPST 2013 meeting is to bring together senior with young scientists from life sciences on an important and rapidly developing scientific field and to create the environment for a superb science, warm collegiality, and an all-around rewarding experience during this special time of year.

Deadlines for abstracts submissions and YTF applications:
· May 20th, 2013: Deadline for FEBS YTF applications.
· May 31st, 2013: Deadline for application/registration and abstract submission.
