This Is No Ordinary Virtual Meeting!

ASCB’s Emerging Concepts series brings you new research from leaders working on the latest cutting-edge topics in cell science, in a highly interactive online format that helps attendees form new connections and collaborations.

During this event you’ll:

  • Hear from leading experts at the forefront of their fields—and you’ll be able to network with them too.
  • Come away with new ideas that can inspire your own work.
  • Have an opportunity to showcase your own work and receive valuable feedback via 5-minute talks and Q&As.
  • Engage in small table discussions where you can meet and interact with colleagues in an intimate setting that allows for real discussions (see the video below).

Speaker Highlights

  • Pietro De Camilli, Yale University
  • Shigeki Watanabe, Johns Hopkins University
  • Mingjie Zhang, Southern University of Science and Technology (China)
  • 17 trainee short talks selected from submitted abstracts

Program Organizers

  • Meng-meng Fu, University of California, Berkeley
  • Subhojit Roy, University of California, San Diego

Program Schedule

An emerging body of work indicates that intrinsically disordered proteins in neurons are essential building blocks of membraneless organelles like RNA granules and subcellular compartments like synapses. In this one-day virtual minievent, we will explore the concepts of liquid condensates, protein aggregation, and their profound impacts on cellular function and neurological disease.
