Organisers may consider to award fee waivers to applicants from lower income economies. The EMBO registration fee waivers are allocated by the organisers on the basis of the quality of the abstract submitted, with priority given to participants of any nationality working in laboratories in: Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Turkey, as well as from EMBC Associate Member States Chile, India, Singapore and Taiwan.Īll applicants have to justify the reasons for applying for a fee waiver. Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizer who will notify all eligible participants. Applicants do not need to apply separately for fee waivers for this event but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered for a fee waiver. Registration Fee WaiversĪ limited number of registration fee waivers are available for participants. To apply, please send an email directly to the meeting organisers justifying your request. Specific travel grants and fee waivers are available for participants of any nationality working in laboratories in Chile, India, Singapore and Taiwan. More information is available at EMBO Travel Grants' page. Applicants do not need to apply separately for travel grants for this event but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered for a travel grant. 140 × 100 cm (width × height, landscape)Ī limited number of travel grants are available for participants.Abstract (300 words maximum, not including references).Priority will be given to young investigators and trainees, whilst promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. Selection for oral and poster presentations will be done by the organizers, based on novelty, significance, and relevance of the research to the thematic of the workshop.

Access to all talks, which will be streamed live, recorded, and accessible via the workshop website.Optional Gala Dinner (EUR 50 per person), including live Greek music the final night of the workshopĮxcluding accommodation, breakfast, and transportation to and from the venue.Welcome dinner, lunch, and coffee breaks throughout the meeting.NOTICE: We encourage you to visit the Hellenic Republic Ministry of Tourism website for the latest travel rules. A special session will be dedicated to innovative ways of targeting this family of enzymes and potential therapeutic benefits, and tributes will be given to pioneers of the field. Topics will include protein phosphatases in immunobiology and immunotherapy, cancer biology, and structure-function. The aim of this EMBO Workshop is to bring together leading scientists and trainees in reversible phosphorylation, signal integration, and drug discovery to present and discuss their latest findings, challenges, and gaps in our knowledge. Stigmatized as nonselective housekeeping enzymes with limited druggability, protein phosphatases have emerged as equally important to kinases in health and disease.
Disruption of this delicate balance can have profound pathological consequences. Tightly controlled by the opposing activities of phosphatases and kinases, this post-translational modification mediates protein-protein interactions and regulates the catalytic activity of enzymes. Reversible phosphorylation is a primary mode of signal transduction vital to all aspects of cellular function. Both Edmond and Patricia were passionate supporters of the phosphatase community and scholarly events such as this. This workshop is dedicated to the memory of the Nobel Laureate Edmond Fischer who together with Edwin Krebs discovered reversible phosphorylation as a regulatory mechanism and Patricia Cohen for her pioneering work on protein phosphatases.
