Adler Symposium

ADLER SYMPOSIUM IN YEAST BIOLOGY - Focus on protein quality control

29 August 2012, Wallenberg Conference Center,
Medicinaregatan 20A, Gothenburg Sweden

Starting in the morning on the 29th of August, CMB will host the bi-annual “Adler Symposium of Yeast Biology”. The Adler Symposium is an informal 1-day workshop consisting of oral contributions followed by a poster session. The series focuses on selected topics in yeast biology but also includes contributions on other models systems. The previous meeting, 2010, focused on “Polarity” and this year’s symposium will highlight “Protein Quality Control”.

The symposium and the following buffet are free of charge but we need a registration to plan for conference seats and refreshments.

Please register on: http://www.gmm.gu.se/Adlersymposium/

If you want to present a poster, please add a title and abstract on the registration page. A few poster abstracts will be picket out for short talks.

Hope to see you in Gothenburg on the 29th!
Thomas Nyström, Markus Tamas, Anders Blomberg, Per Sunnerhagen, Stefan Hohmann
