About
Protein synthesis is one of the most energy-intensive and highly regulated processes in biology, yet its role as a dynamic driver of cellular and organismal function remains underexplored. This meeting will bring together investigators studying translational control across scales - from molecular mechanisms within cells to tissue-level physiology, cancer biology, therapeutic intervention and organismal adaptation. The goal is to define how regulation at the level of mRNA translation shapes cell identity, developmental transitions, stress responses, disease states and organismal fitness. A central focus will be how cells selectively remodel translation in response to changing environments.
Topics will include:
- Translational control in stress adaptation
- Nutrient sensing
- Proteostasis
- Immune activation, regeneration and ageing
- Metabolic disease and cancer
