Wednesday, 12th February 50th Lorne Proteins Conference 2025

• Evolution of immunity across domains of life - Aude Bernheim
• De novo design of CRISPR-Cas13 inhibitors - Cyntia Taveneau
• DNA compaction function of the MORC2 GHKL-type ATPase - Winnie Tan
• Pulling the Plug on Viral Infection: The Pore Behavior of Membrane Proteins that Reside within CRISPR-Cas and other Antiphage Defense Systems - Mitchell O'Connell

Besides the presenters in Session 5, Winnie Tan is also awarded this year's Ander Early Career Award.

• Super-resolution imaging of transcription in living cells - Ibrahim Cissé
• Cryo-EM structures reveal the molecular mechanism of a co-transcriptional histone modification - James L Walshe
• Mechanistic insights into viral protein function and inhibition using single-molecule FRET  - Nicole C Robb
• Resolving the structure of viral genomes using a computational microscope - Aleksei Aksimentiev

The initial 1.5-hour lesson encompasses ocean awareness, safety, board control, wave catching, and standing techniques and is tailored for all ages and skill levels in shallow waters, providing all necessary gear including soft surfboards, wetsuits, rash vests and sunscreen.

Please meet at the registration desk at 2.00pm. Nicole de Weerd from the committee will then escort you to the volleyball location. 

Wear Sunscreen and a hat! 

Please sign up on the noticeboard!
