Conference: Protein Signaling – from mechanism to cellular function

Event by Novo Nordisk Foundation Science Cluster

Conference: Protein Signaling – from mechanism to cellular function

Cellular function and fitness are governed by the ability to respond to internal and external cues. Protein signaling is critically to control gene expression, genome integrity and cell fate decision. This is afforded by a wealth of posttranslational modifications, which expands the functional diversity of the proteome and the macromolecular machines of our cells. Most therapeutic drugs are directed against proteins, or are proteins themselves, and protein-related technologies promise to revolutionize our understanding of the complex wiring of biological systems. This meeting will bring together world-leading researchers across key areas in biology with a focus on protein-driven mechanisms that are relevant to cell function in development and disease. The meeting will have a strong emphasis on the emerging single cell and single-molecule technologies as well as on the advances in chromatin architecture, proteomics, network biology, systems biology and structural biology. Finally, an important focus will be bridging fundamental discoveries to clinical relevant applications.

Copenhagen Bioscience Conferences

This is a Copenhagen Bioscience Conference and it will take place as a physical event taking place at our venue, Favrholm. But please note that due to the uncertain circumstances following the pandemic, the invited speakers will either be present physically or virtually depending on the individual travel restrictions when the conference takes place. For participants, the conference will be an all physical event taking place at our venue, Favrholm. This means that we unfortunately cannot accept participants who can only join us virtually if they are still not able to travel.
