SCOPE
Molecular chaperones comprise a large group of proteins originally
characterized as involved in assisting the folding of many proteins.
However, it has become clear that their roles are much more complex and
diverse, including disaggregation of aggregated species and targeting for
protein degradation, among other activities. Molecular chaperones have
been extensively studied at the structural and biochemical levels and their
cellular role as main proteostasis regulators is well supported. Growing
evidence revealing that alterations in cellular quality control underlie the
pathogenic basis for severe common human neurodegenerative disorders
such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases, has brought molecular
chaperones back to stardom in recent years. In fact, the tight functional
interactions between molecular chaperones and the cellular systems
involved in protein clearance, such as the ubiquitin-proteasome system and
autophagy, have unveiled chaperones as essential components of the
cellular and organismal proteostasis networks. These recent links with
human diseases have propelled the vertiginous expansion that the field of
molecular chaperones has undergone in recent years (> 8000 papers in the
last five years). The goal of this meeting is to facilitate the communication
among the different fields of research currently interested in the roles of
molecular chaperones in cellular proteostasis, as well as to foment an
integrated approach to defining the contribution of alterations in this
process to pathological conditions and to exploring their value as potential
therapeutic targets.
FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP
The workshop will bring together a maximum of 17 speakers and 35
participants, to form a group of around 50 people. The scientific
programme will start in the morning of Monday, October 17 th, and will end
around noon on Wednesday, October 19th. Ample time for informal
discussion will be reserved. Participants will be invited to present a poster.
VENUE OF THE WORKSHOP
The workshop will be held in Baeza, at the “Campus Antonio Machado”, a
XVII century building turned into a Conference Centre of the Universidad
Internacional de Andalucía (UNIA). This Seat includes a residence, where
participants will be accommodated. Baeza is a World Historic Heritage
town, renowned for its Renaissance and Gothic buildings.
