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.
