Bethesda, MD - Since 1982, the FASEB SRC's have offered a continuing series of inter-disciplinary exchanges that are recognized as a valuable complement to the highly successful society meetings. Divided into small groups, scientists from around the world meet intimately and without distractions to explore new approaches to those research areas undergoing rapid scientific changes.
FASEB has announced 37 SRCs planned for the summer of 2011. Series topics include:
- Microbial Polysaccharides of Medical, Agricultural, & Industrial Importance
- Regulation & Function of Small GTPases
- Proteases in Hemostasis & Vascular Biology
- From Unfolded Proteins in the Endoplasmic Reticulum to Disease
- The Molecular & Cellular Origins & the Biomedical Consequences of Protein Aggregation
- Ion Channel Regulation
- Biology & Chemistry of Vision
- Mechanism & Regulation of Procaryotic Transcription
- Signal Transduction in the Immune System
- Molecular, Structural & Clinical Aspects of Vitamin K & Vitamin K Dependent Proteins

And new in 2011, FASEB has created individual event pages on Facebook and LinkedIn to help facilitate online collaboration prior to the meeting and beyond. This way, attendees can continue intimate discussions on these specialized topics even after the conference has ended. A listing of these event pages can be found at www.FASEB.org/SRC.

FASEB is composed of 23 societies with more than 100,000 members, making it the largest coalition of biomedical research associations in the United States. FASEB enhances the ability of scientists and engineers to improve—through their research—the health, well-being and productivity of all people. Our mission is to advance health and welfare by promoting progress and education in biological and biomedical sciences through service to our member societies and collaborative advocacy.
