Sub-Nuclear Structures and Disease

Sub-Nuclear Structures and Disease
28 June-1 July 2012
The Møller Centre, Cambridge, UK

Now in its third year, this Wellcome Trust meeting will focus on the biology of sub-nuclear structures including the nucleolus, cajal and PML bodies. These structures have key roles in normal and diseased cells and they interact in a dynamic way. A fundamental understanding of these sub-nuclear structures can lead to advances in our understanding of infectious disease and cancer.

The conference will bring together cell biologists, microbiologists and virologists working on normal and tumor cells and researchers interested in how these structures are affected by infectious and acquired disease across all eukaryotic systems.

Please note: Due to work to expand the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre at Hinxton, Sub-Nuclear Structures and Disease 2012 will take place at The Møller Centre, Churchill College – part of the historic University of Cambridge
