We are&nbsp;delighted to announce that the conference is going virtual and invite you to join us online. The virtual conference includes live talks from invited speakers, short talk presenters, digital poster sessions and networking opportunities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conference Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) are encoded by 20-30 % of genes in a genome and provide key functions in the cell. Due to their hydrophobic nature, they are structurally and biochemically difficult to study. Traditionally, IMPs have been extracted using detergents which are a poor mimic of the lipid membrane and have been shown to denature membrane proteins. However, newly developed lipid-nanodisc approaches enable structural and functional studies of IMPs in a detergent-free, near-native membrane environment. Therefore, a central theme of this workshop is highlighting the importance of lipids in MP research and how they can be preserved.<br><br>Various experimental and computational tools, including novel expression and stabilisation strategies, have been developed to overcome the challenges posed by a variety of MPs. These technologies have delivered spectacular insights into membrane-protein structure, dynamics and function within the last few years. This conference will bring together researchers developing and applying these new methodologies. In addition to providing a forum to exchange the latest developments in the field, the conference provides excellent opportunities for early-career scientist in the field to learn all aspects of a variety of tools to study the structure and function of membrane proteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>New mimetics for MP research<\/li><li>Expression and purification of MPs<\/li><li>Biophysics of lipid bilayers<\/li><li>X-ray methods for structural research of MPs<\/li><li>Binding proteins for structural and functional MP research<\/li><li>Advances in cryo-EM for small MPs<\/li><li>Cryo-EM and cryo-tomography on large MP complexes<\/li><li>Mass spectrometry and single-molecule FRET on MPs<\/li><li>Computational methods to probe structure and dynamics of MPs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-5a69f5e9-6724-4d6e-9fa7-56b61dd6e5e4\"><h2 class=\"vf-u-sr-only\">Speakers<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keynote Speakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"embl-grid\"><div class=\"\"><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<article class=\"vf-profile vf-profile--very-easy vf-profile--medium vf-profile--block | vf-u-margin__bottom--400\">\n\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vf-profile__image\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.assets.emblstatic.net\/vf\/v2.0.0-alpha.6\/assets\/vf-summary\/assets\/vf-icon--avatar.svg\" > \n    \n    <h3 class=\"vf-profile__title\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n                    <a href=\"http:\/\/med.stanford.edu\/kobilkalab.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vf-profile__link\">Brian Kobilka<\/a>\n            <\/h3>\n    \n                <p class=\"vf-profile__text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n                Stanford University            <\/p>\n                <p class=\"vf-profile__text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n                USA            <\/p>\n    \n    \n      \n\n    \n<\/article>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"\"><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<article class=\"vf-profile vf-profile--very-easy vf-profile--medium vf-profile--block | vf-u-margin__bottom--400\">\n\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vf-profile__image\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.assets.emblstatic.net\/vf\/v2.0.0-alpha.6\/assets\/vf-summary\/assets\/vf-icon--avatar.svg\" > \n    \n    <h3 class=\"vf-profile__title\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/chemistry.illinois.edu\/s-sligar\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vf-profile__link\">Stephen G.

The registration fee waiver covers the registration sum that you have paid to attend the meeting. Conference participants are not required to pre-pay the registration fee to be selected for a fee waiver for a virtual meeting. If you have already paid the registration fee and are awarded a fee waiver, it will be reimbursed after the meeting. Course participants are required to pay the course fee in advance, which will then be reimbursed after the recipient has attended the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Childcare Grants<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For participants and speakers with childcare responsibilities there is the possibility to apply for a grant,&nbsp;provided by the EMBL Advanced Training Centre Corporate Partnership Programme and EMBO, to offset childcare costs incurred when participating at a virtual event. Eligible costs include fees for a babysitter or childcare facility or travel costs for a care giver. Please note that priority will be given to early stage researchers. Costs will be reimbursed after the meeting only once a reimbursement form and original receipts have been received. In order to apply for this grant, you must be registered by the abstract submission deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications for financial assistance can be submitted via the submission portal* (for the submission of abstracts for conferences or the submission of motivation letters for courses) by completing the Financial Assistance Application Section (underneath the section for entering abstract\/motivation letter information). The link to the portal can be found in the registration confirmation email that you will receive after registering for the conference or course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For conferences, if you are not submitting an abstract, you can still apply for financial assistance in the submission portal. Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/fellowships\/FA_instructions.pdf\">instructions on how to apply for financial assistance<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that priority will be given to those submitting an abstract to present at the conference. In your application you will be asked to answer questions regarding your motivation for applying, and, for registration fee waivers, the reasons why your lab cannot fund your attendance and how your attendance will make a difference to your career. Application for financial support will not affect the outcome of your registration application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*For some events, applications for Childcare Grants will still be done by email. Information about the grant will be sent out shortly after the abstract\/motivation letter deadline. Please contact the event Conference Officer if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientific organisers will select the recipients of registration fee waivers during the abstract selection process for conferences and the participant selection process for courses.&nbsp;Results will be announced approximately 3 \u2013 4 weeks before the event start date.&nbsp;Selection results do not impact your admission to the meeting. Registration fee waiver selection is based on your current work or study location, your motivation for applying, the reasons for needing financial support and the impact this event will have on your career. Childcare grants are allocated based on career stage, with priority given to early stage researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/fellowships\/external_funding_sources\/index.html\">list of external funding opportunities<\/a>&nbsp;or get more information on attending the conference as an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/eventreporter\/index.php\">event reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information about financial assistance please refer to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/faqs\/faqs_participants\/index.html#FAQ_PA_trav1\">FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nVirtual Participation Guidelines<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guidelines\">Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please&nbsp;<strong>do<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use the event-specific hashtag as communicated during the event for any related tweets<\/li><li>Tweet unless the speaker specifically says otherwise<\/li><li>Be mindful of unpublished data<\/li><li>Be respectful in tone and content<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please&nbsp;<strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Share your login details to the virtual conference platform with others<\/li><li>Broadcast the conference to unregistered participants<\/li><li>Capture, transmit or redistribute data presented at the meeting unless presenter gives explicit consent<\/li><li>Use offensive language in your posts<\/li><li>Engage in rudeness or personal attacks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional information can be found in our&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.embo-embl-symposia.org\/info_participants\/codeofconduct\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Code of Conduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"health\">Health and well-being<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to stay healthy and move around, especially when you are attending an event virtually.

If time runs out or you think of a question later, you can use Slack to ask your questions in the dedicated session channels or via direct message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"time\">Time zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme is planned based on Central European Summer Time (CEST), unless otherwise stated. As many virtual participants are attending from around the world, we do our best to accomodate as many timezones as possible when creating the programme. Please take your time zone into consideration when planning your attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"platforms\">Virtual event platforms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are using a virtual event platform for this conference. More information about the platform will be shared ahead of the conference.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-dce3141a-e52c-4a7f-b1e1-71a8ad937c0b\"><h2>Sponsors<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Media Partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/embor.embopress.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>EMBO reports<\/em>, an&nbsp;EMBO Press journal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/iubmb.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/rsob.royalsocietypublishing.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Open Biology<\/em>, a Royal Society journal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sponsorship Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We offer a variety of event sponsoring possibilities, with the flexibility to select a set sponsorship package or combine individual sponsorship options to suit your event budget.&nbsp;Discounts are available for companies sponsoring multiple events at EMBL Heidelberg.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/index.php?p_eventType=CON&amp;p_outstation=HD&amp;p_timeRange=FUTURE&amp;submit=Show+Events\">View other conferences<\/a>, or contact&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:sponsoring@embl.de\" target=\"_blank\">sponsoring@embl.de<\/a>&nbsp;for further information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in becoming a media partner of this event, please visit our&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/sponsorship\/mediapartnerships\/\">media partnerships webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><p><a href=\"mailto:sponsoring@embl.de?subject=%5BRecent%20Advances%20in%20Structural%20Biology%20of%20Membrane%20Proteins%5D%20Sponsorship%20Brochure&#038;body=Please%20kindly%20send%20me%20the%20sponsorship%20brochure%20for%20EMBO%20Workshop:%20Recent%20Advances%20in%20Structural%20Biology%20of%20Membrane%20Proteins%20(29%20November%20-%201%20December%202021).\" class=\"vf-button vf-button--primary vf-button--pill\">Request a Sponsorship Brochure<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vf-box vf-box--normal vf-box-theme--quaternary | vf-u-margin__bottom--400\">\n      <h3 class=\"vf-box__heading\">\n                Warning                  <\/h3> \n        <p class=\"vf-box__text\">EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials.
