Protein-Folding Diseases: Models & Mechanisms
Symposium - Cambridge, United States
This one-day Symposium will focus on how misfolded proteins contribute to disease and disease processes at the cellular and whole-organism level, highlighting the diverse biological models that can be used to address this issue. It is becoming increasingly clear that protein misfolding underlies many disease states, including neurodegenerative diseases, prion diseases, type 2 diabetes, cystic fibrosis and cancer. In addition, it is thought to contribute to the normal process of aging. Please join us on Tuesday, September 4th, 2012, at The Broad Institute, to hear the latest advances in this area from ten world-renowned experts in the field.
The Symposium is organized by Susan Lindquist (MIT) and Vivian Siegel, (The Broad Institute, and Editor-in-Chief of Disease Models & Mechanisms).
