The Ubiquitin System: Function, Physiology and its Role in Disease Conference

Synopsis

We have reached a fascinating point in the field of ubiquitin research. The attachment of ubiquitin to a protein in the cytosol was first identified as a means to enable the degradation of this protein by the proteasome. Much later it became clear that the ubiquitin system fulfils another crucial cellular function: through the dynamics offered by ubiquitination and subsequent deubiquitination it gives signalling platforms in a plethora of signal transduction pathways the means to initiate but, importantly, also to end the triggering of particular signals originating from these platforms. Whilst some of the signalling-related functions of the ubiquitin system are mediated via its proteasome-targeting function, the majority of these are mediated by different types of ubiquitin chains acting as scaffolds for the recruitment of signalling modules to protein complexes which serve as platforms for the triggering of specific signalling complexes.

Rather than discussing mainly structural aspects of the ubiquitin system, this conference is dedicated to the study of functional roles of the ubiquitin system, how it works to ensure normal signal transduction, what are the pathological consequences when it is perturbed and how we may be able to address such perturbances therapeutically in various diseases including cancer, autoimmunity and neurodegeneration.

Importantly, this conference aims to become the go-to forum at which the most current and up-to-date therapeutic avenues in the ubiquitin field will be presented and discussed.

See the full list of confirmed speakers below.

Target Audience

This conference will appeal to researchers who are particularly interested in the diverse functions of the ubiquitin system, rather than structural aspects of it, as well the way this system is involved in normal physiology in a whole range of pathologies that have been shown to be associated with abnormal ubiquitin signalling. Naturally this target profile will bring together researchers from both academia and the biotech/pharma industries who want to be on top of the most recent developments in this fascinating and fast developing field.

Learning Objectives

To be on top of the field with the diversity of functional roles of the ubiquitin system
To understand how the ubiquitin system affects health and disease
To develop an understanding for where the treatment options are currently seen in the ubiquitin fields
To learn which ubiquitin-related drugs are presently in preclinical and clinical development
To get a feel for the opportunities of the future provided by the ubiquitin system

Student Offer

Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Register an academic at the earlybird rate of $1,823 and bring a student for only $850. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible for this offer. Both registration packages include; accommodation for the 03, 04, 05 June 2018 (on a shared basis for students) and a 24hour all-inclusive food and beverage package for the conference period.

Snorkel Trip – Monday 4th June 2018

This 2hr excursion will depart from the British Colonial Hilton downtown Nassau. There will be a tour of the harbour on-route to the snorkel sites. The tide and conditions of the sea will determine which and how many sites you visit that day. All of the snorkel sites are incredible and each one is different. For example, Spruce Cay offers multitudes of tropical fish that are quite people friendly and have no problem investigating who is in their space, while the Sea Gardens offers fantastic huge coral formations with much larger fish, then there is the ship wreck where you can see much larger fish. On the way back, you will take a tour of Marina Village at Atlantis with an up-close view of the mega yachts and hotel.

Snorkel Tour paying via cash: $60.00 per person (USD or Bahamian Dollars accepted).
Snorkel Tour paying via card: $63.00 per person (Visa, Mastercard & Discover accepted).

Round Trip Transport: $20.00 per person to be paid during registration, cash only.

Displaying & Presenting Your Poster

During conference registration if you are presenting a poster please request a poster number from the registration desk. Please do not put up your poster without notifying a member of the Fusion team. Certain adhesive agents are not permitted at some venues therefore; Fusion will be the sole provider of all poster fixings.

You can display your poster from registration. Your poster can remain on display for the entire duration of the conference and we ask that posters are taken down on the final day of the meeting. The poster session is usually scheduled on Day 3, but please check the official programme for exact timings. Refreshments will be provided and the poster prizes will be awarded during the conference Gala Night that evening.
