Invitation to the Parnas Conference, Warsaw

We cordially invite you to participate in the 8^th Parnas Conference organized by the Polish Biochemical Society, Ukrainian Biochemical Society and Israel Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, which will be held in Warsaw from August 27 to August 31, 2011

Parnas Conferences commemorate the world known Polish biochemist Jakub Karol Parnas. Before the WWII, J.K. Parnas was a professor of physiological chemistry at University in Lwów (in Polish) or Lviv (in Ukrainian) or Lemberg (in Yiddish). The Parnas' laboratory was a unique place where in a friendly atmosphere young Polish, Ukrainian and Jewish scientists had studied glucose metabolism. The results of their work were highly appreciated as for many years glycolysis was also termed as Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway.

The first Parnas Conference was organized in 1996 in Lviv by the Ukrainian and Polish Societies, and since then every two years the Conferences have been organized alternately in Poland and in Ukraine. The coming 8^th Parnas Conference will be organized for the first time by the Polish, Ukrainian and Israel biochemists in Warsaw.

Welcome to Warsaw to meet in a friendly atmosphere, we hope reminding that of the Parnas' laboratory.

President of the Polish Biochemical Society
