MICROBIAL PATHOGENESIS
ANNOUNCEMENT
Frontiers of Cellular Microbiology and Cell Biology EuroConference on Signaling and Cytoskeleton Plasticity Supported by the European Commission, Research DG, Human Potential Programme, High-Level Scientific Conferences (Contract No: HPCF-CT-1999-00095)
Giens (near Toulon), France, 7–12 October 2000 Chairman: Pascale Cossart (Paris) Vice-Chairman: Jean Gruenberg (Geneva) Speakers will provisionally include Boquet Patrice, Nice Carlier Marie-France, Gif-sur-Yvette Chardin Pierre, Nice Chavrier Philippe, Marseille Cooper John, Washington Cornelis Guy, Brussels De Matteis Antonella, S. Maria Imbaro De Camilli Pietro, New Haven Finlay Brett, Vancouver
Geiger Benny, Rehovot Gruenberg Jean, Geneva Kirchhausen Tom, Boston Kurzchalia Temmo, Berlin Louvard Daniel, Paris Machesky Laura, Birmingham Mangeat Paul, Montpellier Meyer Thomas, Berlin Parton Rob, Brisbane Pieters Jean, Basel Rappuoli Rino, Sienna
Ridley Anne, London Sansonetti Philippe, Paris Schnitzer Jan, San Diego Sibley David, St. Louis Small Vic, Salzburg Spudich Jim, Stanford Svitikna Tatyana, Madison Van Der Goot Gisou, Geneva Way Michael, Heidelberg
Scope of the Conference The goal of this meeting is to reinforce interactions between cell biologists and scientists involved in the molecular and cellular study of infections with the aim of stimulating creative synergies in projects which appeared previously unlinked. This meeting will mainly focus on structural and functional aspects of cytoskeleton rearrangements upon various stimuli such as cell-cell contacts, matrix-cell contacts or contact with pathogens. Endocytosis/phagocytosis and membrane trafficking will also be covered. In addition to invited speakers, many other speakers will be selected from applicants. Cell biologists and physical chemists are particularly encouraged to apply. The conference is open to researchers world-wide, whether from industry or academia. Participation will be limited to 100. The emphasis will be on discussion about new developments. The Conference Fee covers registration, full board and lodging. Grants will be available, in particular for nationals from EU or Associated States under 35.
