SUMMARY:Protein misfolding and aggregation\, from test tube to disease - T
 essa Sinnige and Karen Stroobants (Dept. of Chemistry)

DESCRIPTION:Protein misfolding and aggregation into amyloid fibrils occurs
  in a variety of human pathologies\, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson
 ’s diseases\, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis\, and diabetes type II. \nIn
  this masterclass\, known structures of amyloid fibrils\, and detailed ins
 ights into protein aggregation kinetics in vitro will be discussed\, highl
 ighting the biophysical methods that are commonly used in such studies.\n\
 nTalks will focus on protein misfolding and aggregation in a biological co
 ntext. Taking yeast and C. elegans as examples\, the speakers will present
  the use of model organisms to address the relationship between protein mi
 sfolding and disease.\n\n
