Participation in 2019 Tsinghua-Science Symposium
|
“2019 Tsinghua-Science Symposium on Novel Proteins and Structures” held at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China on November 9-11, 2019. Sponsored jointly by the Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Structural Biology (ICSB), the Beijing Frontier Research Center for Biological Structure (FRCBS) at Tsinghua University, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the symposium invites researchers at the forefront of protein structural biology, design and engineering.
The major topics of the conference include: 1. Protein design and engineering 2. Emerging techniques in structural biology 3. New protein structures 4. Functional mechanism – splicing |
|
More than 30 speakers participated in this symposium on the related topics above. They are come from many countries and universities notwithstanding research bodies. MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, University of Oxford, Imperial College London (UK), University of Washington, University of Chicago, Yale University, University of California, Columbia University, National Institutes of Health, MIT (USA), Max Planck Institutes of Biochemistry (German), Tsinghua University, Peking University, University of Science and Technology of China, Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), ICREA and Center for Genomic Regulation (Spain).
On the first day of the symposium, the topic is about protein design and engineering, which presented by 12 speakers. The focus topic on the second day of the symposium is emerging techniques in structural biology and new protein structures, which presented by 12 speakers. The focus topic on the third day is functional mechanism – splicing, which presented by eight speakers. Most of the speakers’ presented their unpublished work and research to be introduced to all participants. The discussion continued with QnA session from the audience. Many interesting subject presented herein including various technology and techniques in structure biology. This symposium was attended by more than 500 participants from across China and other countries. |

OUR PARTICIPATION AND REVIEW
We are grateful to participate in Tsinghua-Science Symposium. Every science symposium is important for us because we could updates our knowledge to various new discovery and cutting-edge technology in various fields of science for culture is actually embracing all the field of knowledge nothing but for the better progress of humanity. In addition, our goal in this symposium is to expand our network into the scientific community for the sake of finding the right collaborators for our future research as well as program. At the same time introducing our Foundation, including our focus area of research, programs and plans in this symposium is also essential for the growth of the Foundation. |

For us the most interesting subject is on RNA triplet polymerase. This kind of ribozyme enables replication of even highly structured RNA. In other words, besides DNA, RNA actually has the capability to replicate, yet inducing factor on this process is still elusive to determine. This subject is important because this is a new discovery on the RNA function. After post genomic era, which DNA sequence cannot determined the variability of individual, then might be further research on this RNA could be explained the existence of the variability including cultural diversity on human population. In the future, further research on RNA is essential to explain many important subject in life sciences including variability and evolution mechanism. We hope in the future will be held more science symposium on this subject area for based on our research RNA is closely related to culture.
In addition to attend this symposium, as cultural Foundation we also focus in exploring various cultural heritage in Beijing city. At this time, we have opportunity to visit several sites in Beijing such as Tianamen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and The Great Wall. Lastly, participation in this symposium as well as exploring cultural heritage in Beijing is great opportunity for us, and we hope this new knowledge and experience are useful for us in designing new program and future research plan.
