WHAT:
|
A
one-day meeting of Midwest protein folding labs, featuring talks and posters (from graduate students and postdocs, plus a few PIs) covering
all aspects of protein folding research, including:
1. In vitro experiments: protein folding, binding, aggregation, dynamics
2. In silico approaches: computational
models and genome-wide approaches to understanding protein folds,
dynamics, and folding mechanisms
3. Protein folding in vivo: co-translational folding, roles
for molecular chaperones, misfolding/aggregation/amyloid formation,
and cellular mechanisms for recognizing and clearing misfolded proteins |
|
WHY:
|
(1)
To gather Midwestern protein folders together so we can learn more
about each others research!
(2) To provide
graduate students and postdocs with a forum for presenting their research
results |
