DESCRIPTION:What: LINXS Amyloid workshop - Heart\, Brain and Mind\nWhen: M
 arch 3-4\, 2022\nWhere: Hybrid workshop with either digital or on-site par
 ticipation\nRegistration deadline: February 15\, 2022\n\nAIMS \n\nAmyloid 
 diseases are caused by the aggregation of proteins and their accumulation 
 as amyloid fibrils in cells and tissues. Much research is focused on under
 standing the basic biology of amyloidosis and how it relates to disease et
 iology. Integrative structural biology is an integral part in order to ach
 ieve this but also very challenging. The workshop will therefore address s
 ynergy and conflict of technology (reduction) for medical complexity (inte
 gration)\n\nWHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE?\n\nThe workshop wishes to bring to tog
 ether basic researchers and clinicians to discuss existing and novel exper
 imental approaches to determine amyloid structures and integrating the res
 ults to explain medical problem. The participants may have specific knowle
 dge in methodology that relates to the different topics\, or may have a sp
 ecific biological or medical research questions that can be addressed by s
 tructure analysis methods.\n\nOpen to young/early career researchers as we
 ll as more senior.\n\nTOPICS:\n\n1.     Historical overview of clinics
  (amyloids)\n2.      Historical overview of therapeutics\, stabilizat
 ion story? interference of aggregation (how our best molecular knowledge u
 sed?)\, side effects to consider?\n3.     Translational aspects of mis
 folding dynamics to in vivo (most critical points of in vitro to in vivo)\
 n4.     How to cover the gap between basic research and clinics?\n5. 
     How to cover gap with industry?\n\nCONFIRMED SPEAKERS\n\nSheena Rad
