Membrane Fusion and Budding

This meeting will bring together trainees, emerging scientists, and leaders in the fields of membrane fusion and budding over the course of four days. The topics 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. Approaches to study these processes range from organisms and cellular systems to reconstituted systems and computational modeling of membrane fusion and budding.
