Welcome

This year's SIBBM Seminar is dedicated to advanced topics bridging basic molecular and cellular biology and clinical investigation. Sessions will be at the forefront of research in fields such as stem cells in both the regenerative medicine and cancer , and will include presentations on the latest advances in post-genomic and system biology approaches to understand biological function in normal and pathological conditions.

The Seminar will include sessions on:

Stem cell and regeneration
Signaling pathways: how to govern proliferation, differentiation and metabolism
Post-genomic approaches to cell and molecular biology
Cancer stem cell and epigenetics
Effective communication and publishing

Keynote talks, providing broad overviews, will be given by:

Gianni Cesareni, Tor Vergata University, Rome
Michele De Luca, University of Modena
Pier Giuseppe Pelicci, IEO, Milan
Stefano Piccolo, University of Padua

Presentations will include talks by:

Lawrence Banks, ICGEB, Trieste
Davide Corona, University of Palermo
Diego Di Bernardo, TIGEM, Naples
Stefano Gustincich, SISSA, Trieste
Emilio Hirsch, University of Turin
Guidalberto Manfioletti, University of Trieste
Salvatore Oliviero, University of Siena
Salvatore Pece, IEO, Milan
Pier Lorenzo Puri, DTI, Rome & SBMRI, La Jolla, CA, USA
Serena Zacchigna, ICGEB Trieste

Other talks will be selected from participants' submitted abstracts.

The meeting will also offer an exciting opportunity for young researchers and PhD students to talk about their work and experiences. Since an essential aspect of science is also dissemination of the results through publications and presentations, a special session will be dedicated to how to publish and how to communicate science, featuring presentations by:

Bernd Pulverer, Chief Editor, The EMBO Journal
Eric May, Consultant and Trainer, Germany

At the end of the meeting, the "Chiara D'Onofrio Giovani" prize (2000 euros) will be awarded to the best oral presentation.
