Dechema colloquium „Games of tag – Letting protein modifications out of the lab“

18.10.2016 / For its very first edition, held at the innovative biomedical Campus Berlin-Buch, the DECHEMA colloquium will focus on protein modifications and their significant role in the development of new forms of therapy and diagnosis. We are proud to announce that Alfred Goldberg from the Harvard Medical School will give a keynote lecture on proteasome regulation, with a focus on connecting our understanding of mechanisms to disease therapies. Further fascinating presentations will address the role of protein modifications in signal transduction, protein stability, their usage in Captured Compound Mass Spectrometry, and innovative technologies for protein labeling, glycooptimisation and multimerization.
