Welcome to the SW P450 Meeting Website!
Our
meeting, which began as a southwest regional meeting has now
expanded to include P450 scientists from across the entire country.
This meeting is meant to be informative, in a relaxed setting, with
extensive opportunities for participation from students and
post-doctoral fellows. The meeting focuses on all aspect of P450
enzymes, their redox partners, their function, expression and
regulation in all biological systems.

Program Information:
The program
for the 7th Southwest P450 meeting will consist of a
Keynote address, , twelve 30 minute platform presentations,
four 15-minute student presentations, an evening poster session,
and several social events.

Symposium Synopsis (2008)
The purpose of this now 7th
Annual, three-day Symposium is again to provide a forum for the
exchange of information among scientists who study cytochromes P450
within a variety of disciplines utilizing a broad array of
approaches. The Symposium is intended as an informal and affordable
session to share information, goals, and problems, as well as to
seek solutions and collaborations. Attendance at the meeting is
limited to 70 participants due to room availability at the
conference site. Graduate student and postdoctoral
participation is strongly encouraged, and registration costs are
accordingly held to a minimum. The program will consist of a
keynote address by
Dr. Stephen G. Sligar, the I.C.
Gunsalus Professor and University Scholar of the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign:
"Solving
Mechanistic Questions of Cytochrome P450 with Nanotechnology".
There
will also be multiple sessions of 30-minute invited research
presentations encompassing the general areas of the structure,
function and regulation of mammalian, bacterial, yeast, marine,
mitochondrial, insect, and plant P450 research as well as extended
evening poster sessions to facilitate information exchange and
interactions among all participants. The meeting also features
extensive break and social events, informal discussions and
networking opportunities.
