General Information
About the meeting:
By bringing together world experts with differing areas of expertise in molecular and cellular biology this meeting offers a rare opportunity towards understanding the living cell as a whole. Such understanding can reveal the basis of human disease processes, thereby indicating targets for therapeutic intervention as exemplified by neurological and proliferative disorders.
This meeting is being held in honour of Pierre May who passed away July 2009, 30 years after he first described the p53 tumour suppressor protein. Rather than taking a retrospective view this meeting looks to the future and aims to encourage interdisciplinary discussion spanning basal and applied aspects of cell biology.

An online rail timetable is available to help you to plan your journey.
Taxi: There is a taxi rank directly outside the station, please ask the driver to take you to the Department of Biology/James College, University of York. A journey costs approximately £8 and takes around 15 minutes.
Bus: You can reach York by coach from many destinations around the country. National Express buses stop at the railway station. More details are available from their online coach timetable.
Car: The easiest route is to approach York via the A64 and A1079. Turn off at the exit marked University and follow the signs past Grimston Bar and down Field Lane to University Road. This route avoids the City Centre and known traffic blackspots. http://www.york.ac.uk/np/maps
