Kinases and pseudokinases online symposium
Wednesday 26 May 2021 Registration is now closed for this event. Kinases fulfill allosteric, scaffolding, molecular switch and decoy roles in cell signalling. The recent attention on pseudokinases has shone a light on under-appreciated non-catalytic functions that can be mediated by kinases, raising the prospect that novel and specific therapeutics could target these functions. To mark the 30th anniversary of the publication of the first protein kinase structure (Knighton et al, Science 1991) and in anticipation of the 88th Harden conference on Kinases and pseudokinases in 2022, the Biochemical Society is hosting an online symposium for the sharing of research in the field. Much of what we know about these diverse proteins has come from this structure, and its publication is a milestone to celebrate. The focus of the symposium will be on research carried out by Early Career Researchers (ECRs), including senior graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and pre-tenure PIs. The programme will present an opportunity for ECRs to present their work alongside leaders in the field. Oral communication slots are available at this meeting. All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit an abstract for consideration as an oral communication or flash talk. You can submit your abstract here. There are a variety of bursaries available for this meeting. Click here to find out more. Not a member of the Biochemical Society?
