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.!
EMBO/FEBS Lecture Course- Susan Lindquist School on Proteostasis 16 – 19 September 2025 | Espoo, Finland
About the EMBO-FEBS Lecture Course
Cells constantly surveil and monitor their proteome to ensure proper function. These processes, spanning multiple steps from protein synthesis to folding and degradation, are collectively known as proteostasis. Extensive research in recent years has provided molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying proteostasis and its links to conditions such as neurodegeneration and aging.
The EMBO|FEBS Lecture Course on Susan Lindquist School on Proteostasis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of past and current work on proteostasis to the next generation of scientists in this field. The program includes review lectures on established science, presentations on upcoming research, career development sessions, and numerous opportunities for scientific exchange.
Since 2005 EMBO and FEBS have collaborated to co-fund the EMBO|FEBS Lecture Courses. In 2025 we celebrate the delivery of over 50 courses funded together. To mark the occasion, this course will present a Joint FEBS|EMBO Lecture Courses Special 2005–2025 Award to an early-career researcher course participant. More details will be given at the start of the course.
About EMBO Courses and Workshops
EMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender).
Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable.
