We are proud to present the 1st Dutch Protein Aggregation Network (DPAN) symposium to be held on November 30, 2023, at O|2 building/O|2 Auditorium VU Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The aims of the DPAN are creating a network in the Netherlands that discusses fundamental aspects of protein aggregation in the context of human diseases and aging, supporting interdisciplinary research on protein aggregation with a focus on pathogenic proteins, facilitating and encouraging future collaborations across the boundaries of disciplines and disease types and stimulating young researchers and students to focus on protein aggregation research.
Registration is now open. Register here!
Registration deadline: November 23, 2023
Deadline for abstracts: November 7, 2023
Due to the limited amount of seats, we ask you to register earlier.
Please note that the abstract submitted after the 7th of November will not be evaluated!
