“Unraveling the universe of microproteins – from discovery to physiology and application”
Novo Nordisk Foundation
University of Copenhagen
For a long time, small proteins were largely ignored because it was assumed that they were of no importance. However, evidence is now accumulating that small proteins have important functions and are involved in a wide range of physiological processes. This evidence has been obtained in very different fields of research, ranging from plant biology to medical research. The aim of the conference is to assemble researchers working at the cutting edge to discuss both the basic principles and the potential applications of small proteins. We have selected a group of very diverse scientists who would participate as invited speakers at this conference. Our aim is to publicise the meeting widely via social media and to bring together world-leading experts with PhD students and postdocs mainly from Denmark and its neighbouring countries to build a strong network.
