EMBL Conference: Protein Synthesis and Translational Control

Translational control is a major focus of attention that extends to many fields, including developmental biology, neurobiology, cell physiology, disease, synthetic and systems biology, among others. In addition to messenger RNA translation, the conference will feature advances in the fields of epitranscriptomics and non-coding RNAs that influence the translation process. Data-rich high-throughput technologies and structural advances will also be central, as they are pushing the field forward in manners that were unthinkable only few years ago, and are helping to create a “systems” view of translation.
