4th German p53 Workshop

Conferences Meetings

The 4th German p53 Workshop will take place in Jena, from Monday, January 13rd, to Tuesday, January 14th organized by Martin Fischer at the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI).

Description

The transcription factor p53 is the arguably best-known tumor suppressor that is mutated in approximately the half of all human cancers and dysregulated in many more. It is the most studied gene and protein with more than 120,000 publications in PubMed. Despite the vast body of literature, much remains to be understood regarding the molecular mechanisms elicited by p53 in different contexts.

Since 2017, the bi-annual German p53 Workshop brings together leading experts in the field working in Germany. We are looking forward to host the "4th German p53 Workshop" at the FLI in Jena.
