The interrogation of biological systems with chemical probes profoundly influences research innovation in drug development, biochemistry and biology. This realization culminated this year in the dedication of two of the most prestigious awards in science (Nobel Prize and Wolf Prize), to the developers of bioorthogonal chemistry, and one of the Wolf Prize winners (Prof. Benjamin Cravatt) will be one of the speakers at this symposium. Activity- and affinity-based protein profiling (ABPP) has emerged as one of the key technologies in this domain, During the last decade, ABPP has allowed answering numerous research questions related to the functional role of proteins in physiological and pathological processes. The developed chemical probes for ABPP have found use in lead and target identification, and hold potential as diagnostic and imaging tools in fields such as cancer biology, infectious diseases, and plant pathology. ABPP offers the opportunity to discover new chemical probes.
This is the 13th international ABPP meeting, and in the tradition of this conference series, it aims to bring the growing ABPP research community together to discuss advances and novel approaches in the field of chemical
probes and proteomics.
Topics covered will include: Activity-based Protein Profiling (ABPP); Photoaffinity labelling; Bio-orthogonal chemistry; Chemical proteomics; Probe/inhibitor design and synthesis; In situ labelling and imaging; Covalent ligand discovery
We are pleased to inform you that the deadline for abstract submission has been
extended to June 3rd
