DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleague\,
\n 
\n This year the Synchrotron Radiation (SR
 ) User Meeting will be held from Thursday 13th to Friday 14th September 200
 7 at Diamond Light Source\, Oxfordshire. The objectives of this meeting are
  to bring together the entire United Kingdom community of users of SR\, to 
 act as a showcase for the best SR studies being carried out by the UK commu
 nity and to challenge the community with world class science.
\n We are hol
 ding a satellite session on 'Systems Biology' to give scientists a vision f
 or what is going on in biology\, especially outside the molecular/structura
 l biology domain. I anticipate the mini-symposium will be most attractive a
 nd will be a spur to promote interactions among people in different fields.
  The programme for Friday 14-09 follows below:
\n
\n09:30 Professor Tom Kir
 kwood\, Newcastle University\, "Aging: Systems Biology and the Life Cycle":

 tegrative Systems Approach to Study Root Gravitropism":http://www.diamond.a

 o Living Cells Using Microbeams":http://www.diamond.ac.uk/ForUsers/SRUser07

\nABOUT DIAMOND LIGHT SOURCE
\n
\nThe Diamond synchrotron is t
 he largest UK-funded scientific facility to be built for over 40 years. Loc
 ated in South Oxfordshire on the Harwell Chilton science campus\, this gian
 t machine can be described as a series of "super microscopes". It is housed
  in a futuristic doughnut-shaped building which covers the area of 5 footba
 ll pitches. Diamond will ultimately host up to 40 cutting edge research sta
 tions\, called beamlines\, supporting the life\, physical and environmental
  sciences.
\n
\nDiamond offers a unique suite of tools to investigate biolo
 gical systems\, starting with macromolecular crystallography and small angl
 e scattering in 2007. Later in the programme\, circular dicroism and infrar
 ed microscopy stations will complete the life sciences synchrotron light su
 ite. The membrane protein crystallisation and the biophysics laboratories a
 t Diamond add extra facilities for biophysical investigations on site. At t
 he same time\, the Diamond Research Complex will be ready in 2009 for resea
 rch in Biological Imaging counting on 100 life and physical sciences resear
 chers.
