Join us at The University of Leeds on 10th June for a one-day, interdisciplinary meeting organized by the SPiDR project team on intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs).
The roles of many proteins rely heavily on IDRs. These are protein regions without obvious specific structural features that are, surprisingly, found and conserved across biology and evolution.
The meeting is open to everyone and aims to bring together researchers across disciplines to discuss the biological role of IDRs in health and disease and the physiochemical properties that make them integral to these processes.
Who should attend?
Everyone enthusiastic about IDRs. Particularly, encouraging early-career scientists including postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers using biochemistry and biophysics, chemical biology, structural biology and cell biology.
Speakers
We are excited to confirm speakers Prof. Peter Tompa (VIB-VUB Center for Structural Biology) and Dr Markus Schade (AstraZeneca).
