About the Conference

Post-translational modification of proteins with ubiquitin and ubiquitin related modifiers such as SUMO is one of the most commonly used regulatory mechanisms in cells. The purpose of this conference is to accelerate education and understanding of ubiquitin, SUMO and other Ubls at molecular, cellular and organismal levels and thus facilitate discovery as well as medical or biotechnological translation.
