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.

Symposium Synopsis (2008)
The
purpose of this now 8th 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 only
50 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. Thomas A. Baillie; University of Washington; “Cytochromes
P450 in Drug Discovery and Development – Friend or Foe?”
as well as
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 breaks
and social events, informal discussions, and networking
opportunities.
