Scope
The human cell nucleus is a highly organized
and compartmentalized structure. The nuclear
lamina is one of the major structural elements and
organizers of the cell nucleus. Besides its well
established architectural role, groundbreaking
work over the last few years has demonstrated
that the lamina and the associated nuclear
envelope proteins regulate multiple cellular
functions, including higher-order chromatin
organization, DNA replication and repair, gene
transcription, and signal transduction. Interest in
the nuclear lamina has taken on added relevance
in recent years with the discovery that mutations
in the lamin proteins which make up the lamina,
or genetic defects leading to changes in lamin
abundance or post-translational processing,
cause a variety of rare genetic disorders termed
laminopathies. This workshop will bring together
leaders in nuclear lamina research with the aim
of discussing cutting-edge research in the field
which is providing a fertile ground for discoveries
that are impacting the basic understanding of
cellular functions, aging and disease.
Format of the Workshop
The workshop will bring together 17 speakers and
a maximum of 33-35 participants, to form a group
of around 50 people. The scientific programme
will start in the morning of Monday, November
16th, and will end around noon on Wednesday,
November 18th. Ample time for informal discussion
will be reserved. Participants will be invited to
present a poster.
Venue of the Workshop
The workshop will be held in Baeza, at the
“Campus Antonio Machado”, a XVII century
building turned into a Conference Centre of the
Universidad Internacional de Andalucía (UNIA).
This Seat includes a recently restored residence,
where participants will be accommodated. Baeza
is a World Historic Heritage town, renowned for its
Renaissance and Gothic buildings.
