TRANSPOL ITN - Satellite-Symposium: Membrane Trafficking / Signalling / Cell mechanics
Saturday 30 August
Organized by the EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network TRANSPOL-ITN
9:00 - 16:45, Room 252A
This Satellite-Meeting is part of the final meeting of the EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network "TRANSPOL-ITN" (Transport and Sigalling in Polarized cells). TRANSPOL aims specifically to understand the functional relationship between intracellular trafficking and cellular signalling and their relevance to human diseases.
Participants of TRANSPOL as well as six invited speakers will present their most resent results on the topics of membrane trafficking, cell signaling and cell mechanics.
This meeting is open to participants of the main FEBS EMBO conference. There is no admission fee, however, please kindly register by sending your name and the name of your institute to: transpol@rub.de
Registration will close on the 31st July 2014 and will be dealt with on a first-come, first-served basis.
