Dear list members,
Those of you interested in the biology of bioluminescence, molecular,
biological and ecological studies of cnidarian fluorescent proteins
and of their applications in cell biology and biotechnology may find
this symposium of interest -
Calcium-Regulated Photoproteins
and
Green-Fluorescent Proteins
August 29 - September 3, 2004
A Centennial Celebration Symposium
At the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories, Friday Harbor, WA
Honoring: Dr. Osamu Shimomura
Organized by: Dr. William W. Ward
Registration Announcement and a Call for Poster Abstracts
Bioluminesence research is an esoteric subject. Yet from such basic
questions as "How do they do that?" have come astonishing
applications. Jellyfish, studied just because they glow, have given
us green-fluorescent protein and the calcium regulated photoprotein
aequorin. Pioneering studies on GFP and aequorin at the Friday Harbor
Labs by Frank Johnson and Osamu Shimomura have transformed our tools
for biological research. The symposium celebrates the institution,
the people, and their legacies with Dr. Shimomura as the keynote
speaker.
The venue for the symposium is a fabulous location. The San Juan
Islands have some of the finest scenery and with afternoons free each
day, there will be many opportunities to visit the islands, hike,
shop, fish, whale watch, etc. and inter-island ferry rides are free
for pedestrians and bikers.
