Research on how proteins (mis)fold
On Friday March 15th, the section Cellular Protein Chemistry hosted the 19th Dutch Chaperone Meeting (DCM) in the Utrecht Science Park, organized by Stefan Rüdiger and Marjolein Smithuis. This annual meeting brings together Dutch and international researchers interested in protein quality control, protein folding and protein folding diseases. Also this year, the DCM offered PhD … Read more
From the UU website Stefan Rüdiger is receiving 250,000 euros for research on Huntington’s disease.
