CellMeD
Meeting in
Cellular membrane dynamics
July 11-13 (2023) | Braga (Portugal)
Sobre
Scope of the meeting
This meeting will focus on processes, features, mechanisms and functions associated with cellular membrane dynamics in different organisms, from Mammals to Fungi. We will focus on organelle dynamics, membrane trafficking, membrane contact sites, lipid homeostasis, super resolution imaging and cryo-electron microscopy.
The relevance of these topics in fields such as Medical Mycology, Oncobiology, Medical Physics, Neurosciences will be highlighted.
