Join the EMBL conference “Bringing Molecular Structure to Life: 50
Years of PDB” and celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Protein Data
Bank (PDB) with us. With over 1 million unique users worldwide and more
than 400 biomedical data resources, the PDB represents the achievements
and milestones of the structural biology community.
The conference will be hosted virtually, running from 20th - 22nd
October 2021. This timing coincides with the 50th anniversary of the
original announcement of the PDB archive, when the structural biology
community established the single worldwide archive for macromolecular
structure data in 1971.
The archive is managed by the Worldwide Protein Data Bank consortium
(wwPDB) which includes partner sites in Asia, Europe and America, making
this a truly global effort. The 50th anniversary is an opportunity to
celebrate the advances in structural biology and bioinformatics and peer
into the future prospects for these fields.
The session topics for the conference include:
Structural biology & applications in health and the environment
RNA/DNA molecular machines
The next 50 years: Genomics meets structural biology
Latest advances
The next 50 years: future perspectives (part 1)
The next 50 years: future perspectives (part 2)
Register for the conference at s.embl.org/pdb21-01
Deadlines:
Abstract submission: 25 Aug 2021
Registration: 29 Sep 2021
Call for artwork
An artwork exhibition will be part of the conference, bringing awareness
to the 50th anniversary of the PDB. The conference participants can
submit an artwork representing scientific and/or societal concepts
relating to a structure in the Protein Data Bank. The artwork can be
created using any technique or media, however, we will require a
high-resolution image of the artwork for display in the virtual exhibition.
Kind Regards,
David Armstrong
