Membrane Fusion and Budding

This meeting will bring together trainees, emerging scientists, and leaders in the fields of membrane fusion and budding and will cover many subfields of the fusion and budding disciplines, including, but not limited to, fusion and budding at synapses and neuroendocrine cells (exo- and endocytosis), in relation to the function of membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and extracellular vesicles, and in the context of host/virus interactions, cell-cell fusion, and autophagy. Studies of fusion and budding employing reconstituted systems and computational modeling will also be discussed.
