WELCOME

Post-translational modifications (PTM) by members of the ubiquitin family are at the heart of almost every biological process, including regulation of protein levels, localization, and quality control. Defects in this protein homeostasis (proteostasis) can result in developmental anomalies and disease. An intricate interplay exists among the ubiquitin-family members, with diverse chains and linkages that constitutes a “ubiquitin code”, the full meaning of which is largely unknown. Fundamental research on the ubiquitin code continues to grow, with the pharmaceutical industry taking aim at potential targets in the proteostasis area for novel therapies.

 

 “Writing and Editing the Ubiquitin Code” is a one-and-a-half day symposium that will focus on how the code is written and edited through ligases and proteases, how the different modifications affect cell signaling, and how new technologies can be applied to analyze these modifications. Presentations will cover a wide range of topics, from genome instability and metabolic regulation, to cancer, neurodegeneration and infectious diseases.

The UbiCODE Innovative Training Networkis composed of 11 research institutions across 5 countries in the EU conducting world-class research in post-translational modifications with ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like molecules. This European programme aims to train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers, able to face current and future challenges and to convert knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 765445.

UBIRed is a network committed to improve the quality, productivity and impact of the research groups in Spain specialised in the study ofubiquitin and UBL proteins and their roles in cell proliferation, differentiation and cancer. The expected impact of UBIRed is to develop strategies aiming at modulating UBL modification processes to better diagnose and/or cure those cancers in which UBLs conjugation is involved. In this manner, we expect to increase Spanish scientific leadership in this highly competitive field and to translate scientific knowledge into cutting-edge innovations that will improve human health.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) are part of the European Commission's Horizon 2020 programme. They provide grants for all stages of researchers' careers - be they doctoral candidates or highly experienced researchers - and encourage transnational, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. The MSCA enable research-focused organisations (universities, research centres, and companies) to host talented foreign researchers and to create strategic partnerships with leading institutions worldwide.
