Dates: i) Leukemia Meeting- Aug 2-3, 2010           ii) Year long lecture Program- schedule of lectures will be posted soonLeukemia Meeting: Hematological malignancies: a basic science and clinical initiative The study of leukemias has provided deep insights into the molecular basis of disease and general specific molecular targets for therapies now in widespread use. More recently, the elucidation of the cancer stem cell paradigm in leukemias has provided us with an entirely new way of approaching the study of solid tumors in humans. The progress in this field has essentially been possible due to the close integration of clinicians and basic scientists whose skill sets span both experimental and theoretical aspects. This meeting aims to closely link further courses with research and integration into the clinic. The design of the meeting essentially lays the foundation for a continuing close involvement of both clinicians and scientists on day to day basis in this programme.Leukemia - ...

This program will be organized in two parts: (i) Conference: July 26 – 30 and (ii) School:  Aug 1 - 6, 2010Planned as a satellite to  STATPHYS 24, the overall scope of the conference is the conceptual understanding of nucleation, aggregation and growth phenomena with applications of experimental, theoretical and computational techniques to a diverse range of physical, chemical and biological systems. To maximize the benefits of interaction among participants, the current program is organized around a few focus areas, viz.  soft matter systems, biological assembly, mechanical behavior and non-equilibrium processes in solids. Nucleation, patterning, glass transition and gelation in colloidal suspensions, self assembly in macromolecular solids, active aggregation in biological systems, viral self assembly, protein crystallization, DNA assisted assembly, fracture and earthquakes, solid state nucleation and microstructures are some of the topics that will be represented.  This conference is...

This program has two components:Workshop: Quantum chaos and quantum information from 21 July to 25 July at IIT Madras, Chennai.Conference: Perspectives in Nonlinear Dynamics PNLD 2010 from 26 July to 29 July at IISc,Bangalore.PNLD 2010 will be a satellite to STATPHYS 24 which is being held in Cairns, Australia. This meeting will be the third such; PNLD 2004 was held in Chennai and PNLD 2007 was held in Trieste, Italy. The meeting highlights nonlinear science research and has proved to be a useful forum for the exchange of ideas, for presenting research, and for catalysing research.The themes we aim to explore in this program include:Dynamical Systems TheoryThe interplay of noise and nonlinearityEvolving networks with complex topologyQuantum Chaos and Quantum InformationRecent developments in integrable systemsNonlinear science applications in - The life sciences (including Neuroscience) - Physical Sciences (particularly the science of real materials) - Engineering - Earth Sciences, Soc...

This program is a part of the golden jubilee celebrations of IIT Kanpur.A Satellite Meeting of this ICTS Program will also be held at IIT Kanpur. More details are available here.Aims and scope: Strictly speaking, no macroscopic system is in thermodynamic equilibrium although, over an approriate window of time, they may appear to be in equilibrium. However, the foundation of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics (NESM) is not as well established as that developed by Maxwell, Boltzmann and Gibbs for systems in equilibrium. Moreover, the smaller is the system, the stronger are the fluctuations. Furthermore, at sufficiently low temperatures, quantum fluctuations give rise to additional interesting properties also in systems far from equilibrium. The main aim of the ICTS program on "Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics" is to critically examine the foundations of NESM and to assess the recent progress in understanding physical phenomena in wide varieties of systems far from equilibrium.This ...
