EMBO Conference: 'The Biology of Molecular Chaperones: from Molecules, Organelles and Cells to Misfolding Diseases'

Conference - Sardinia, Italy

The overall theme of this conference series is protein homeostasis - the regulation of protein folding in the cell - and the mechanisms and consequences of protein misfolding and aggregation caused by cell stress, disease and ageing.

For this series, we have included a new focus on biogenesis and folding of membrane proteins and the programme will reflect recent progress in the study of aggregation in vivo with focus on studies of sub-cellular organelles, the endocytic pathway

Our objectives are to bring together scientists from research students through to leading established investigators for stimulating talks and ample discussion in a comfortable, isolated location that keeps all participants together and fosters relaxed, informal contacts. Participants’ interests range from single molecule mechanics, through structural and theoretical studies to biochemical and in vivo analyses at the organelle and cell levels, to molecular and cellular pathologists seeking to understand and develop therapies for the intractable, degenerative diseases of protein misfolding.
