Symposium 2: Metalloproteinases & Matrix as a dynamic structural network (Chair: Irit Sagi)

Symposium 3: Matrix Pathobiology (Chair: Renato Iozzo)

Symposium 4: Interactions and functions of matrix macromolecules (Chair: Ralph Sanderson)

Symposium 5: Glycobiology and Metabolic Regulation of ECM molecules (Chair: Alberto Passi)

Symposium 6: ECM networks & ECM-based nanotechnology (Chair: Sylvie Ricard-Blum)

Symposium 7: Signaling and Disease Molecular Targeting (Chair: Martin Gotte)

Symposium 8: Matrix regulation in health and disease (Chair: Raymond Boot-Handford)

posticon Speakers' Corner

Published: Tuesday, 28 March 2017 08:24 Print Email

An important goal of the FEBS-MPST Courses is to bring together senior with young scientists on an important and rapidly developing scientific field. In this regard, two Speakers’ Corners will be organized during the FEBS-MPST 2017. The participants will have the chance to meet and counteract with the invited speakers, chairs attending the meeting as well as with members of the organizing committee face-to-face in an informal atmosphere besides the seaside.  The invited speakers will be able to pass through their experience and advices to the young researchers.

posticon Poster Sessions

The Poster Session represents a vital part of the FEBS-MPST meetings. All abstracts, whether or not selected for oral presentations, will be on display as posters (dimensions: 80 cm wide x 100 cm height) during the entire Course to provide ample time for informal discussions among students, participants and lecturers. Three Poster Sessions and poster discussion groups will be organized.
