The
conference program for the 11th International Conference
on Biological Inorganic Chemistry promises to be outstanding
and will reflect the latest developments in biological inorganic
chemistry, supported by an exceptional line up of plenary
speakers.
Metalloproteins
constitute 50% of all known proteins, and the post-genomic
revolution allows new approaches to gene discovery and to
fundamental metallo-biology. The field is fundamentally multidisciplinary,
bringing together common genetic, biochemical and biophysical
themes applied to bacteria, plants, animals, and humans.
The
Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry is the worlds
leading body for promoting this interdisciplinary field. Its
members are scientific professionals from hospitals, research
institutes, and universities engaged in research, development,
and commercial activities. Fundamental knowledge has led to
the development of bio-inspired photonic, electronic, and
analytical techniques. For example, the glucose oxidase electrode
developed for diabetics is the most frequently used analytical
device in the world. The development of the famous platinum
anticancer drug cis-Platin has also led to the search for
new inorganic drugs for the treatment of cancer and other
diseases. Radio-pharmaceuticals and other imaging agents,
together with bio-sensors in general, constitute another burgeoning
area of development.
The
conference will provide attendees with the opportunity to
showcase their ideas, developments, research, and products
and to speak with each of the delegates at the conference.
This conference has grown exponentially since its inception
20 years ago. There were 1300 delegates who attended the Tenth
Conference in 2001 in Florence, Italy.
