Microtubules: from atoms to complex systems
Carsten Janke, Zdenek Lansky, Francois Nedelec, Kassandra Ori-McKenney
Description OverviewSpeakersProgrammeEMBO trainingPractical informationSponsorsAboutMedia kit Overview Symposium overview This symposium initiated in 2010 and held every two years since brings together both early career and established researchers from around the world who share an interest in microtubule biology and its relevance to human health and disease It has grown into a central venue for fostering collaboration and exchanging new ideas in the field The microtubule cytoskeleton plays a vital role in diverse cellular processes including chromosome segregation vesicle and organelle transport cell motility and the establishment of polarity When microtubule function is impaired the consequences include human diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders making microtubules key therapeutic targets Recent advances have come from interdisciplinary approaches that integrate cell biology genetics molecular biology biochemistry biophysics structural biology and mathematical modeling greatly expanding the impact and scope of microtubule research As the field continues to diversify the need for a strong unifying meeting becomes increasingly important This symposium addresses that need by bringing together researchers across disciplines and career stages The programme will feature inspiring keynote lectures numerous short talks selected from submitted abstracts dynamic poster sessions and dedicated opportunities for networking and community building Session topics Harnessing microtubules Microtubule based cell architecture Microtubules in the nervous system Microtubules inside neurons Decoding microtubules Control of microtubule based transport Microtubules in cell division Speakers Keynote speakers Martin Chalfie Columbia University USA

OverviewSpeakersProgrammeEMBO trainingPractical informationSponsorsAboutMedia kit Overview Symposium overview This symposium, initiated in 2010 and held every two years since, brings together both early-career and established researchers from around the world who share an interest in microtubule biology and its relevance to human health and disease. It has grown into a central venue for fostering collaboration and exchanging new ideas in the field. The microtubule cytoskeleton plays a vital role in diverse cellular processes, including chromosome segregation, vesicle and organelle transport, cell motility, and the establishment of polarity. When microtubule function is impaired, the consequences include human diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, making microtubules key therapeutic targets. Recent advances have come from interdisciplinary approaches that integrate cell...
