EMBO Workshop — Dynamic kinetochore

The kinetochore is a dynamic proteinaceous structure that forms at centromeric chromatin. It connects spindle microtubules to chromosomes in order to ensure the equal segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Over the years, the Dynamic Kinetochore meeting has become the major venue for discussing the molecular details of kinetochore formation, structure and control and their relevance to cancer and other human diseases. The meeting encompasses the latest unpublished and cutting-edge research in the field and includes topics that span different disciplines (from biochemistry and biophysics to animal biology), and organisms (from yeast to human). Traditionally, the meeting fosters early career principal investigators, students and postdocs but also features key senior members of the field.
