Benjamin Glick from University of Chicago will present a talk titled "Rethinking the Secretory Pathway." The host of the event is Kyle Cunningham. Newly synthesized secretory proteins traverse the Golgi apparatus, which is a set of disk-shaped cisternae. According to the cisternal maturation model, Golgi cisternae form de novo, progressively mature while carrying the secretory […]

Steven Tang from Stanford University School of Medicine will present a talk titled "Membrane Fusion in Mammalian Fertilization." The host of the event is John Kim. Abstract: Membrane fusion of sperm and eggs is pivotal in life. Understanding the molecular intricacies leading to sperm-egg fusion represents a basic science question with broad implications for human […]

Aga Kendrick from University of California, San Diego will present a talk titled "Time-resolved cryo-EM visualizes snapshots of dynein's activation pathway." The host of the event is John Kim. Abstract: Regulation of cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein) is critical for diverse functions of eukaryotic cells, including cell division and long-range intracellular transport. Both dynein and Lis1, an […]

Christopher Lapointe from Stanford University School of Medicine will present a talk titled "Dynamics and disruption of human translation initiation."

Lauren Saunders from University of Washington will present a talk titled "Developmental genomics from single cells to organisms."

Steve Bonilla from University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus will present a talk titled "Dissecting dynamic RNA structural landscapes by cryo-EM."
