Nuclear envelope and Golgi Cell Biology Satellite
SEB Marseille Thursday 10th July 2008
Supported by the National Science Foundation of the USA, SEB Cell Section Satellite Fund and Biology of the Cell
Co-organisers:
David E. Evans, Oxford Brookes University, UK and Iris Meier, Ohio State University, USA.
The objective of the symposium is to bring together researchers investigating the nuclear envelope (NE) and the Golgi apparatus (GA) in a Satellite workshop. Talks will include plant, animal and fungal systems and topics to be discussed include the behaviour of NE and GA in cell division; common themes in vesicle traffic; nucleo-cytoplasmic partitioning of proteins; virus traffic, SNAREs, the cytoskeleton and nucleoskeleton and coiled-coil proteins.
