Actin is one of the central building blocks for cellular life. Dynamic actin filaments define not only a cell's shape and contractility, but also many processes in space and time inside the cells and their components like mitochondria or the nucleus. The actin cytoskeleton fulfils a multitude of essential physiological functions. The meeting will cover a range of topics from intracellular trafficking and motility, mitochondrial dynamics and fission to nuclear actin cytoskeletal functions and gene regulation. The symposium is organized by CIBSS member Prof. Dr. Robert Grosse and sponsored by CIBSS.
All members of CIBSS including post-doctoral fellows and Phd students are invited to visit all talks free of charge. The meeting will take place at the Otto-Krayer-Haus on University of Freiburg campus on the 20th and 21st of February and aims at providing a highly interactive environment between young scientists and renowned international experts in the field of cellular actin dynamics.
To participate, registration is required. Please register your participation by February 16th at the latest via Email to Mrs. Marion Zehner, marion.zehner(at)pharmakol.uni-freiburg.de. Registration at the reception of the symposium is also required.
