Ubiquitin & Friends Symposium 2023
The 9th “Ubiquitin & Friends Symposium” was organized by the SFB Targeted Protein Degradation on 27 – 28 April, 2023, in the Van Swieten Hall in Vienna’s 9th district, close to the historic city center of Vienna. We were honored that 11 highly renowned scientists (see below) accepted our invitation to present at our symposium, of whom unfortunately one had to cancel on short notice. Thanks to the guest speaker and together with short talks selected from submitted abstracts and poster sessions, preceded by flash talks, an exciting program could be held, with topics ranging from structural insights of the molecular machines involved in proteostasis to chemical approaches for studying the ubiquitin system as well as various biological pathways such as autophagy, protein quality control and proteostasis during stress, aging and diseases.
