EMBO | EMBL Symposium: Molecular Machines: Lessons from Integrating Structure, Biophysics and Chemistry

The aim of the conference is to show the interdisciplinary, diverse experimental approaches and promote a modern way of thinking, where barriers between specific expertise are crossed. The sessions are organized according to the biological questions, ranging from gene expression to cell division. Experts in the different techniques will present their work back to back, showing the multiplicity of routes that can be followed to understand molecular machines in the cell.

Topics

• Dynamical machines in cell division
• The spliceosome
• Molecular complexes in gene expression regulation
• The transcription machinery
• Membrane transporters
• Signaling network
• Nuclear trafficking and localization
• Role of omics in understanding molecular mechanisms
