FEBS congresses usually attract the attention of the government bodies of the host countries. City mayors and ministers deliver addresses at opening ceremonies. The organizing committees are always concerned with this public imagerelated section. The 38th Congress was no exception. It was historically important to mention the role of the Skolkovo Foundation in the initiation of government solutions associated with the Congress. Viktor Vekselberg, on behalf of the Skolkovo Foundation, had addressed a request to support the initiative of the Russian Biochemical Society to hold the Congress in St. Petersburg to the Russian Federation government. St. Petersburg was chosen as the FEBS Congress venue for 2013. Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian Prime Minister, had signed an Order of the RF Government specifying which spheres certain ministries and agencies were to be in charge of during preparations for the Congress. Dmitry Livanov, Minister of Education and Science of Russia, was appointed National Honorary Chairman. The main organizer and coordinator of all Congress related efforts were representatives of the Russian Biochemical Society headed by Professor Alexander Gabibov. The Chairman and Secretary of the International Advisory Committee of the Congress: Nobel Laureate Richard Roberts and Professor Michael Blackburn made an invaluable contribution to attract internationally renowned scientists, including 11 Nobel Laureates as lecturers and speakers. The role of Nobel Prize Winner Roger Kornberg was also significant. The Chairman and Secretary of the Program Committee: Professor Sergey Kochetkov and Marina Tretyak contributed greatly to make the program a reality. The role of the Congress secretary, Vera Knorre, was also 2 invaluable. The abstracts of the participants were prepared by Congress Coordinator Alexandra Rogalskaya. The companies “Legal Forum” headed by Olga Motenko and “Lumier Group” headed by Ekaterina Ivanova successfully performed delegate management and organizational events, while the Lenexpo exhibition center headed by Sergey Voronkov mounted the pavilions. www.febs-2013.org [email protected] (Congress Secretariat), [email protected] (Program Committee) St. Petersburg July 6-11, 2013 FEDERATION OF EUROPEAN BIOCHEMICAL SOCIETIES CONGRESS 2013 Mechanisms in Biology The primary sponsor of the Congress, the “Farmsintez” company, and its president Dmitry Genkin provided financial support and technical staff to prepare and host the Congress. One of the leading financial specialists at the company, Igor Volodin, was the financial director of the Congress. The Park Media company (and personally Alexander Gordeev and Konstantin Kiselev, who assumed the burden of registering participants and supporting on the Congress website) made an invaluable contribution from the earliest days until the final minutes of the Congress organization process. The Ministry of Education and Science and its staff contributed greatly at different stages of the preparation process. Then-Deputy Minister Igor Fedyukin and current Deputy Minister Alexander Povalko, who quickly joined the preparation process, rendered invaluable assistance. A lot was done by Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs Evgeny Ugrinovich, Deputy Director Alexander Sumbatyan, and ministry staff Vladimir Arbuzov and Albert Garmash. The chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Science-Intensive Technologies, Professor Valery Chereshnev, made a fundamental contribution to the solution of critical problems. Lyudmila Ogorodova (who was the deputy chairperson of the Committee at the time and is currently a deputy minister of the Ministry of Education and Science) also contributed to the solution of a number of problems associated with preparations for the Congress. At the Russian Academy of Sciences, the burden of responsibility for the Congress rested on Vice President of the RAS, Professor Anatoly Grigoryev, who signed dozens of letters to ministries and agencies and solved a number of fundamental problems for the Congress. The administration of the St. Petersburg Research Center of the RAS, the St. Petersburg Academic University, and Professor Zhores Alferov helped with successful resolution of numerous organizational problems for the Congress. 3 The Young Scientists Forum would not have been possible without the active contribution of the First Pro-rector for research of the St. Petersburg Academic University, corresponding member of the RAS Mikhail Dubina. Invaluable assistance was provided by the administration of the St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University (the chancellor, corresponding member of the RAS Andrey Rudskoy, prorectors Dmitry Raichuk and Alexander Rechinsky). Participants of the Young Scientists Forum were accommodated in the campus of the St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University under the assistance of Viktor Ignatenko. The Head of the Committee of Science and Higher Education at the St. Petersburg Administration, Andrey Maksimov, and his deputy, Irina Ganus, played a significant role at all the stages of preparations for the Congress. So did the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (and its chairman, Professor Vladislav Panchenko). The Foundation rendered an unprecedented support to the Congress, while Vladislav Panchenko participated in the opening ceremony and headed the session devoted to collaboration between the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (EMBL–RFBR). The member of the Skolkovo Foundation Council Mikhail Kovalchuk also rendered invaluable assistance at the initial stage. www.febs-2013.org [email protected] (Congress Secretariat), [email protected] (Program Committee) St. Petersburg July 6-11, 2013 FEDERATION OF EUROPEAN BIOCHEMICAL SOCIETIES CONGRESS 2013 Mechanisms in Biology National Honorary Committee Dmitry Livanov Chair Minister of Education and Science of Russia Igor Fedyukin Deputy Chair Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Russia Dmitry Oveshnikov Secretary Coordinator, Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Members Alexander Gabibov Head of the Laboratory, Shemyakin & Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry Genkin Chair, Director Counsel of Joint-Stock Company “Farmsintez” Anatoly Griroriev Vice-President, Russian Academy of Sciences Vadim Ivanov Member, Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Director, Shemyakin & Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Russia Andrey Ivashchenko Chair, Director Counsel of the Noncommercial Partnership “Center of High Technologies HimRar, Russia” Oleg Kiselev Director, National Institute of Influenza, Russia Michail Kovalchuk Director, National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute”, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Komolov Skolkovo Foundation, Russia Sergey Kochetkov Head of the Laboratory, Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences 4 Andrey Maximov Chair, Committee for Science and Education, Government of St. Petersburg Alexander Makarov Director, Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology, Russia Nikolay Nikolsky Director, Institute of Cytology, Russia Oleg Salagai Deputy Director, Department of Innovation Policy and Science, Ministry of Health, Russia Sergey Salikhov Head, Department for Development and priority Trends in Science and Technology, Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Vladimir Skulachev Director, Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, Russia Alexander Pavlushko Senior Counselor, Consulate Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Russia Eugeny Ugrinovich Director, International Department, Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Oleg Khotun Governmental Representative Sergey Tsyb Director, Department of Chemical Technology and Bioengineering Technology, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Russia www.febs-2013.org [email protected] (Congress Secretariat), [email protected] (Program Committee) St. Petersburg July 6-11, 2013 FEDERATION OF EUROPEAN BIOCHEMICAL SOCIETIES CONGRESS 2013 Mechanisms in Biology International Advisory Committee Richard Roberts, Nobel Laureate Chair USA Michael Blackburn, Secretary General UK Members Zhores Alferov, Nobel Laureate Russia Sidney Altman, Nobel Laureate Canada, USA Ruth Arnon Israel Angelo Azzi IUBMB Past-President USA Jean Francois Bach France Alexey Bogdanov Russia

    GENES AND PROTEINS THAT CONTROL THE SECRETORY PATHWAY Nobel Lecture, 7 December 2013 by RANDY SCHEKMAN Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Introduction George Palade shared the 1974 Nobel Prize with Albert Claude and Christian de Duve for their pioneering work in the characterization of organelles interrelated by the process of secretion in mammalian cells and tissues. These three scholars established the modern field of cell biology and the tools of cell fractionation and thin section transmission electron microscopy. It was Palade’s genius in particular that revealed the organization of the secretory pathway. He discovered the ribosome and showed that it was poised on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where it engaged in the vectorial translocation of newly synthesized secretory polypeptides (1). And in a most elegant and technically challenging investigation, his group employed radioactive amino acids in a pulse-chase regimen to show by autoradiograpic exposure of thin sections on a photographic emulsion that secretory proteins progress in sequence from the ER through the Golgi apparatus into secretory granules, which then discharge their cargo by membrane fusion at the cell surface (1). He documented the role of vesicles as carriers of cargo between compartments and he formulated the hypothesis that membranes template their own production rather than form by a process of de novo biogenesis (1). As a university student I was ignorant of the important developments in cell biology; however, I learned of Palade’s work during my first year of graduate school in the Stanford biochemistry department.

    Unrestricted Immigration and the Foreign Dominance of United States Nobel Prize Winners in Science: Irrefutable Data and Exemplary Family Narratives—Backup Data and Information Andrew A. Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods. Outline of Presentation • A preliminary examination of the 609 Nobel Prize Winners, 291 of whom were at an American Institution when they received the Nobel in physics, chemistry or physiology and medicine • Will look at patterns of

  • 1992 Doug Murphy in 1978, Doug Murphy's Lab at the Johns
    1992 Doug Murphy In 1978, Doug Murphy's lab at the Johns Hopkins Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy invited a Russian postdoc from Alexander Spirin's group to join them. The 1979 invasion of Afghanistan and the 1980 boycott of the Olympics, however, heightened the Cold War and prevented the exchange. Since Russians could not leave the Soviet Union, the only alternative for scientific exchange was for US scientists to go to the USSR. Armed with a deep interest in foreign languages—he speaks three, including Russian—Murphy felt this was a good time to extend his life beyond the bench and do something on a human scale, so he went to Russia himself. Under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences, he spent one month in the USSR. Amid bugged rooms and tight security, Murphy discovered that the official animosity toward US scientists was not shared by Soviet scientists. The Russian scientists were starved for US scientific news. Generally six months behind in scientific developments, nothing was trivial to them. "They wanted to know everything," says Murphy, "how the cultures differed, what the everyday life of a scientist was like— everything." Although life in Russia is far different from life in the US, Murphy discovered that Americans can easily identify with Russians because both are "warm and generous." That first visit led to six more visits in the following years, including one in 1985 where Murphy gave a lecture series entitled "The Molecular Biology of the Cytoskeleton". With the beginning of glasnost, more Russian scientists were allowed to leave the USSR.

But drivers know how to follow the signs and roadways to reach their destinations. How do different cellular proteins "read" molecular signposts to find their way inside or outside of a cell? For the past three decades, Randy Schekman has been characterizing the traffic drivers that shuttle cellular proteins as they move in membrane-bound sacs, or vesicles, within a cell. His detailed elucidation of cellular travel patterns has provided fundamental knowledge about cells and has enhanced understanding of diseases that arise when bottlenecks impede some of the protein flow. His work earned him one of the most prestigious prizes in science, the 2002 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research, which he shared with James Rothman.

  • Russia's Knowledge Economy Decline
    Russia’s Knowledge Economy Decline: Views From Inside Harley Balzer Summary This paper begins with an overview of Russian assessments of knowledge economy challenges. It then focuses more specifically on problems in science and education. Special attention is devoted to bureaucratic competition, funding, personnel and the limited role of business in the knowledge economy. This is followed by examining several issues that merit particular attention in the aftermath of Crimea: potential partners for development; whether military R&D is an exception to prevailing difficulties; and the impact of sanctions. The concluding section focuses on consequences of decline and considers potential tipping points that could change the trajectory in positive or negative directions. * * * The two questions that have consumed the Russian intelligentsia since the 18th Century are kto vinovat’ (who is to blame) and chto delat’ (what is to be done). I have often joked that most Russians devote so much time and energy to the first question that they barely touch on the more crucial second question. In the case of Russia’s declining capacity in the knowledge economy, this is hardly a joke. The Russian discourse is focused overwhelmingly on how bad things are and who caused the problems. Those who disagree that the current trajectory means long-term decline invoke Russia’s great tradition in the natural sciences or Soviet successes in space and atomic energy, and they argue that the government simply needs to restore funding to an appropriate level in order for Russia’s vast pool of talent to restore the nation’s proper place in global science.
