89th Harden Conference - Proteoglycans: Matrix Master Regulators 2023
4-7 September 2023 De Vere Horsley Estate Surrey, UK Abstract deadline: 4 July 2023 EXTENDED: 14 July 2023 Earlybird registration deadline: 4 July 2023 Registration is now open - please note registration is limited and expected to sell out - Only a few places remaining! 12th International Proteoglycan Conference Organised by the Biochemical Society in collaboration with the British Society for Matrix Biology Proteoglycans (PGs) are an exciting class of molecules with a huge variety of critical functions in cell regulation due to their functional interactions with protein partners. PGs are highly complex and functionally diverse molecules which are strategically positioned on the cell surface and in the matrix, and impact mechanistically on fundamental processes in health and disease. Increased understanding of their structure-function relationships is underpinning new insights into their roles in diverse disease processes (including cancer, neurodeneration and host-pathogen interactions) and in normal repair mechanisms (such as angiogenesis, wound healing, nerve regeneration and stem cell regulation). This is now leading to the emergence of novel therapeutic strategies and applications in bio-inspired biomaterials. The meeting programme will focus on research areas at the forefront of the field, covering basic aspects of PG research (including new technologies and tools), their functions and mechanisms of action, and advances in translation to biomedical applications. Planned sessions include:
Oral communication slots are available at this meeting. All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication. You can submit your abstract here. Event sponsored by:
Thanks also to: Renato V. Iozzo, MD PhD, Editor-In-Chief, Proteoglycan Research for their support of the meeting. Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities are available for this meeting. For more details please contact conferences@biochemistry.org The 89th Harden Programme Coordinators are:
Confirmed speakers include:
STUDENT OFFER: The first 20 students to register will receive a £100 discount off their registration fee. Enter the code: STUDENT89HARDEN *If the code does not work, the discount is no longer available* Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities are available for this meeting. For more details contact conferences@biochemistry.org Biochemical Society BursariesWe offer a wide variety of grants and bursaries to help you attend this event and save money on registration fees!
Harden Bursaries: We offer financial support to help graduate students and those who have gained their PhD in the last 5 years attend Harden conferences. Apply during the abstract submission process. Care and Assistance Grants: We recognise that care needs and requirements can vary from individual to individual. These grants provide additional funding to cover participation in a Society meeting or training course. The grant is open to all additional support needs, including but not limited to, carer support, childcare, disability, and accessibility needs. Stay Connected Bursaries: If you are currently on a career break, or have recently returned to work, these bursaries make it easier for members to remain engaged with the scientific community by covering the registration fees. Requests for financial support towards accommodation and travel will also be considered. General Travel Grants: Funding of up to £750 is available to Postgraduate, Early Career, Full, and Emeritus members to assist with the cost of face-to-face attendance at scientific meetings. Not a member of the Biochemical Society? Join today and save up to £100 on your registration fee. BSMB BursariesThe British Society for Matrix Biology are also offering bursaries to help members attend this event. Applicants should be non-tenured scientists, preferably at an early stage of their research career and unlikely to have access to travel funds. For this reason, preference is given to young researchers such as graduate students and early post-docs (less than 6 years post-doc). In the case of application numbers exceeding available bursaries, the quality and impact of the work to be presented together with previous record of BSMB bursary support will also be taken into account.
