Proposal for the Amyloid Meeting

Prepared by Magdalena Ivanova and Sangho Lee

August 10, 1999

Purpose

We have several people working on amyloid proteins. This meeting will serve as a place in which we can exchange our experience, keep updated regarding members' works, and discuss current issues in the amyloid research fields.

Schedule

Day: First Tuesday of every month at 5pm
Place: To be announced

What to do

An one-hour meeting will be divided into two parts. In the first half, a speaker will present a topic. This part will be a rather formal one. The speaker can choose any topic from the following categories;
1. His/her current research status report
2. Discussion of a paper in the literature
3. Experimental techniques and/or problems in the current research
In the second half, we can discuss current issues arising from our projects or anything related to them. This part will be totally informal .

Web page

Sangho will prepare and maintain a simple web page for this meeting. It will contain schedule, a list of speakers, excerpts from previous meetings, a mailing list, and related links. It can be a public one, which can be accessed by anyone, or restricted to access inside the MBI, depending on the level of the contents and people's concerns.

Mailing list

A mailing list will be prepared and maintained. Entries of the list will be posted on the web page so that anybody who wants to share hot information can send an email to amyloid people.

Next Meeting

Next meeting will be held on September 7, Tuesday at 5pm assuming no conflicts.

Contacts

If you have any suggestions, you are welcome to contact Magdalena or Sangho.
