About the EMBO-FEBS Lecture Course

Cells constantly surveil and monitor their proteome to ensure proper function. These processes, spanning multiple steps from protein synthesis to folding and degradation, are collectively known as proteostasis. Extensive research in recent years has provided molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying proteostasis and its links to conditions such as neurodegeneration and aging.

The EMBO|FEBS Lecture Course on Susan Lindquist School on Proteostasis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of past and current work on proteostasis to the next generation of scientists in this field. The program includes review lectures on established science, presentations on upcoming research, career development sessions, and numerous opportunities for scientific exchange.
