Therapeutic Approaches to Protein Misfolding in Neurodegenerative Disease 2025, New York, NY
Maintenance of proteostasis, an interconnected network of cellular processes that govern protein synthesis, folding, and degradation, is critical for cellular health. Imbalances in proteostasis are closely associated with aging and prevalent human neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease.
This symposium will bring together leading experts in proteostasis biology, neurodegenerative disease research, clinical practice, pharmaceutical development, and investors to discuss the latest advancements in the field. The meeting will serve as a dynamic platform for stimulating discussions on translating current knowledge of proteostasis into innovative therapeutic strategies to address protein misfolding in neurodegenerative diseases.
Don’t miss out on this exciting program agenda, brought together by leaders from Harvard Medical School, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, The University of California, San Francisco, and AbbVie Inc.!
30th Annual Midwest Stress Response and Molecular Chaperone Meeting, Evanston, IL
This annual meeting is for researchers interested in cell stress responses, the regulation and function of molecular chaperones, protein folding, misfolding, clearance, and all aspects of proteostasis including protein conformational diseases.
For graduate students and postdoctoral fellows there will be a lightning talk session and a poster session with talks from leading members of the field who have made this meeting special.
Abstracts for the lightning talks and posters are due by November 24, 2024.
