Strategies for Studying Protein-Protein Interactions

Complex protein interactions underlie many physiological processes involved in development and disease. Over the last decade the traditional toolset used to study protein interactions has expanded. Biological and chemical approaches have been identified that enable high throughput analysis and the identification of molecular probes and drug targets. The Scientist brings together a panel of experts to discuss emerging technologies for studying protein-protein interactions. Attendees will have an opportunity to interact with the experts, ask questions, and seek advice on topics that are unique to their research.

Topics to be covered:

• The use of small molecules to study protein-protein interactions
• Protein interactomes
• Applications for the study of disease pathology and drug interactions
