25April-Proteostasis


WELCOME!

Proteostasis Meeting 2016

We proudly announce the 3rd PROTEOSTASIS Action Meeting covering topics in “Proteostasis and its Biological Implications” on 2nd-5th of November 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal. This meeting follows the tradition established in previous meetings such as “Meeting on Protein Quality Control and Ubiquitin Systems in Health and Disease” in 2012 to facilitate the interaction, collaboration and exchange of "know-how" between researchers and students working in "intracellular protein degradation" area.

The PROTEOSTASIS has generated a huge interest among scientists from very diverse backgrounds such as biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, chemistry, developmental biology, genetics, medical sciences, microbiology, with expertise on different areas aging, cell signaling, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, proteasome, lysosome, endocytosis, cell signaling, proliferation, and diseases. Disases as diverse as diabetes, neurodegeneration, cancer, heart and kidney disease are covered. Our 3rd PROTEOSTASIS Action Meeting will cover all basic and applied aspects of protein quality control, ubiquitin systems, proteasome structure, ubiquitin mediated proteasomal degradation and autophagy.

Leading scientists from all over the world will present and discuss latest developments in protein quality control and ubiquitin field. One of the major objectives of the meeting is to attract young researchers by giving them the chance to meet and develop links with the widely acknowledged experts in the field. This will be established by presentations during poster sessions and short talks in every topic sessions.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Lisbon, Portugal

Who attends?

Proteostasis brings together young researchers, established
investigators, leaders in their fields and industry representatives from
all around the world who work in the area of protein homeostasis. The
topics cover proteasome, autophagy, proteolysis, protein quality control
and mitochondrial proteostasis. A special effort in providing a total
of three session linking proteostasis research with health and diseases
ensures relevant content for health professionals as well. We aim at
providing a stimulating environment fostering both exchange and
generation of new ideas.
