We are thrilled to extend a warm invitation to all of you to join us for an enlightening and insightful mini-symposium titled "Chaperones in Health and Disease." This event, featuring talks by Dr. Franz-Ulrich Hartl and Dr. Manajit Hayer-Hartl, and hosted by Dr. Yun-Ru (Ruby) Chen, is scheduled to take place at the GRC 1F Auditorium at 2:00 PM on September 6, 2023 (Wednesday).
Speakers and Topics:
Dr. Franz-Ulrich Hartl: "Chaperones of the Cell: Functions in Health and Disease"
Dr. Manajit Hayer-Hartl: "Cellular Machineries Devoted to Rubisco — Nature’s Predominant CO2 Fixing Enzyme"
About the Speakers:
