EMBL Conference: Protein Synthesis and Translational Control

With the increasing appreciation of the integration between different steps of gene expression, the conference will explore the connections between translation, mRNA turnover, nonsense-mediated decay, RNA localisation, splicing, etc. Finally, many alternatives to the classical “one message makes one protein” concept are being unraveled which increase the potential for regulation. These alternatives will be featured, as well as the role of translational regulation in diseases as diverse as cancer, neurological disorders or infectious diseases.

Topics: neurobiology, cell physiology, disease, synthetic biology, systems biology, RNA translation, translation, gene expression, infectious diseases, epitranscriptomics, non-coding RNA
