The third edition of Trends in Enzymology
will be held
13-17 June 2010
in Centro Stefano Franscini, Ascona, Switzerland.
The main goal of the conference is to bring together scientists from Europe and overseas to share their newest results and insights into the workings of nature's chemical catalysts in a relaxed informal atmosphere resembling that of the American-based Gordon Research Conferences. We project to gather close to 120 participants to discuss the latest ideas on topics ranging from novel chemical and physical mechanisms of enzymes, new methods to monitor and modulate how they work, to novel applications. A second purpose of the Trends in Enzymology philosophy is to provide a European forum to enhance the participation of scientists, especially at the junior level, who rarely have the opportunity to attend the similarly stimulating and informal Gordon conferences. The program is designed to allow ample time for participants to interact socially and scientifically.
