Organ-on-a-Chip: Current Gaps and Future Directions
Organ-on-a-Chip is a hot topic and one of keen interest to many scientists working in translational sciences. Whilst the technology is still in its infancy, Organ-on-a-Chip is expected to deliver game changing solutions and progressively increase our capacity to gain greater insight into mechanisms of human disease, toxicity and early efficacy assessment of new therapies. There are many Organ-on-a-Chip start-ups that have developed within academic institutions and are now attracting interest and financial investment. This conference will review where the current state of the art is, and where the bottle necks and future directions lay.November 2019

85th Harden Conference: Dynamic Membrane Complexes: Respiration and Transport
Over the last ~5 years, cryo-electron microscopy single-particle reconstruction and tomography have resulted in an extraordinary amount of structural information of respiratory membrane complexes, the value of which is yet to be fully explored. Even more recently, the importance of membrane protein dynamics, formation of supercomplexes and organisation within microbial (inner membrane) or mitochondrial cristae has been highlighted. These new insights have shaken the classical view of respiratory chains. An interdisciplinary evaluation of these results with experts from neighbouring fields such as protein-protein interactions, computational biology, dynamic membrane transport mechanisms and lipid biophysics is now needed to retain and even accelerate this momentum. Translation to the clinical sciences or an enhanced understanding of the structural dynamics for the functional properties of respiration and transport can also provide an opportunity to open up new fields of research.July 2019

Deubiquitylases: from mechanism to physiology
This conference is the second international meeting on Deubiquitylases (DUBs) and is unique in its focus on this class of enzymes. It will bring together researchers in this exciting field of research to discuss molecular mechanisms, cellular functions and physiological roles of DUBs. The recent development of highly specific inhibitors has led to a lot of interest in exploring these enzymes as therapeutic drug targets in a variety of disease settings ranging from infection and inflammation to cancer and neurodegeneration. Emerging new concepts in DUB regulation and translation will be a particular focus of this meeting.May 2019
