Research Seminars

About

Research Seminars gather a small number (20 to 100) of well-established and preferably young investigators to address scientific topics in depth and help break new ground. Research Seminars take place over two days in easy-to-reach European cities. They are scientific Seminars involving recently published work and research in progress. Participation is fully supported by the budget granted by the ERS.

Protein quality control in lung disease

The event brought together outstanding researchers of the fields of conformational disorders, ER-Stress, autophagy and proteasome pathway to foster exchange of knowledge not only between basic and clinical researchers but also within the lung community. This effort will contribute to the identification of new therapeutic targets and in the development of new drugs to treat pulmonary diseases related to inherent dysfunction of protein quality control.
