Annual Midwest Stress and Molecular Chaperone Meeting
Recognizing that we are still in a pandemic, masks will be optional, but strongly encouraged. We request that everyone test themselves for Covid-19 prior to arrival at the conference. This annual meeting is for researchers interested in cell stress responses, the regulation and function of heat-shock proteins and molecular chaperones, protein quality control, protein misfolding, aggregation, phase condensates, and diseases of protein conformation.
The emphasis of this meeting is on selecting Graduate Students, Postdoctoral Fellows, and New Investigators as speakers.
This meeting is sponsored by funds generously provided by The Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Institute for Biomedical Research. There is no registration fee for this meeting.
