We will be covering various topics ranging from structural insights of the molecular machines involved in proteostasis to chemical approaches for studying the ubiquitin system as well as various biological pathways such as autophagy, protein quality control and proteostasis during stress, aging and diseases.
Program
The 1.5-day program will comprise talks from 11 renowned scientists invited as guest speakers, 10-11 talks by participants selected from the submitted abstracts, and flash talks followed by poster sessions. A wine reception and the conference dinner take place on the first evening.
It will start on Thursday at 9:00 am, and end on Friday by 3:00 pm (presumably).
