Symposium

International Symposium
March 9-11, 2022

We welcome you to the first international CRC 1381 symposium on “Dynamic Organization of Cellular Protein Machineries”.

The goal of the CRC is to better understand how protein machineries are assembled during biogenesis, how they are organized in modular (sub-)assemblies and how the dynamics in assembly and organization and their regulation are used for precise operation of cellular functions. Questions the CRC is addressing and which will be discussed at the meeting with leading scientists in the field.

At this symposium invited international speakers will present their work along with Freiburg researchers from the CRC 1381.
The symposium is free of charge, however, registration is required. Early-career scientists are especially encouraged to submit an abstract for the poster session.

We are very much looking forward to an inspiring meeting in Freiburg!

Please note: Due to the current situation and new regulations at our venue, the international symposium SFB 1381 “Dynamic Organization of Cellular Protein Machineries” has to take place online via Zoom. Please see below for the program (all times are Central European Time).
