Program

The meeting’s main themes are: 1) How membrane structure and function are regulated by small GTPases; 2) The roles of small GTPases in human disease.

Conference sessions will present the latest research and foster discussion on:

Small GTPases in secretion and endocytosis
Small GTPases - regulation and signaling
Coordination with autophagy and beyond
Structure of GTPases and friends
Coordination with cell polarity
Coordination with the cytoskeleton
GTPases in cell migration, cancer, and immunity
GTPases in neurological disorders
Small GTPases and their machineries as druggable targets

In addition to keynote lectures from Jennifer Lippincott Schwarz, PhD (HHMI, Janelia Research Campus) and EMBO Lecture, Marino Zerial, PhD (Max Planck Institute), the conference will feature nine sessions and two poster sessions. Additionally, “Meet the Expert” sessions will take place during conference dinners, offering attendees the opportunity to sign up for and join the table of one of the day’s speakers.
