ISBOMC' 08: 4th International Symposium on Bioorganometallic Chemistry
The symposium will be held on the campus of The University of Montana, Missoula, MT, USA, which is situated in the scenic Rocky Mountains. Two of North America's most beautiful national parks are three to four hours drive from Missoula.

Bioorganometallic chemistry has emerged as an important sub-discipline
of organometallic chemistry. The recent recognition of enzymatic
analogues of standard organometallic reactions such as alkyl migration,
hydrogenation/dehydrogenation catalyzed by organometallic prosthetic
groups as well as the increased use of organometallic compounds in the
treatment of disease and the important of organiometallic derivations
of toxic metals to the environment have added to the literal explosion
of this field since the first conference was held in Paris in 2002.
ISBOMC'08 will focus on all these themes while also including more
recent studies of the use of organometallic labels in various imaging
techniques and for the development of hybrid biomaterials.
The primary focus areas of the symposium will be:
1. Hydrogen and the environment-the role of organometallics.
2. Organometallic compounds in medicine.
3. Organometallic enzymes
4. The role of organometallic compounds in heavy metal toxicity.
5. Organometallic compounds in structural biology.
