Wellcome Trust Conference: Sub-Nuclear Structures and Disease
Posted by Treasa Creavin, on 3 May 2012
Abstract & Bursary deadline: 11 May | Registration deadline: 31 May
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.
