4th International Symposium: Milk Genomics & Human Health
This three-day symposium will gather international experts in nutrition, genomics, bioinformatics and milk research under the theme of “Milk: from Genes to mRNA to Proteins.” Sessions will focus on the proteomics of milk, regulation of milk protein expression, post-translation modification of milk proteins, proteomics of milk peptides and glycopeptides and bioactives of milk proteins as well as updates from the International Milk Genomics Consortium (IMGC).

International experts in nutrition, genomics, bioinformatics and milk research will gather in Napa, California November 7-9th for the 4th International Symposium on Milk Genomics and Human Health.
Organized by the California Dairy Research Foundation (CDRF), the three-day event will be held at the COPIA Center for Wine, Food & the Arts under the theme of “Milk: from Genes to mRNA to Proteins.” Sessions will focus on the proteomics of milk, regulation of milk protein expression, post-translation modification of milk proteins, proteomics of milk peptides and glycopeptides and bioactives of milk proteins as well as updates from the International Milk Genomics Consortium (IMGC). Speaker proposals will be accepted through April 30th, see www.milkgenomics.org for details. A complete speaker program will be announced in June.
Symposium registration is $450 through September 6, 2007 and $500 thereafter and includes all program materials and daytime meals as well as a Wednesday evening reception. Members of the International Milk Genomics Consortium can register at the rate of $400 through September 6, 2007 and $450 thereafter. Student rates also are available. For registration information, visit www.milkgenomics.org or register online at www.acteva.com/go/cdrf.
Since the inaugural Milk Genomics Symposium in 2004, the event has attracted researchers from 24 countries to discuss current and future genomic research of mammalian milk and its related health benefits and led to the development of the IMGC, a partnership of companies and academic organizations. The IMGC goals are to leverage existing resources for the assembly of genetic instructions for milk molecules, link the scientific community for better understanding of the biological values of milk, create tools for an interactive, Web data exchange, coordinate pre-competitive research to develop baseline data, and provide a foundation for the development of exclusive/competitive research. For more information about the IMGC, visit www.imgconsortium.org or email info@imgconsortium.org.
Event sponsors include the International Dairy Federation, U.S. Dairy Export Council as well as IMGC Sponsoring Members CDRF, CNIEL, DairyAustralia, Dairy Farmers of Canada, Dutch Dairy Association, Mead Johnson Nutritionals and Teagasc.
