8-9 May 2025, Vienna
Ubiquitin & Friends Symposium 2025
organized by the SFB consortium "Targeted Protein Degradation", lead instution: University of Vienna
Fascinated by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins, a group of scientists at the Vienna BioCenter decided in the early 2010s to launch a joint interest group. The Ubiquitin & Friends Symposium emerged as the network’s annual highlight. In the meantime, the network has expanded and got formalized into a research consortium: the Special Research Program (SFB) on Targeted Protein Degradation, coordinated at the University of Vienna.
The Ubiquitin & Friends Symposium is an annual international meeting taking place in the beautiful capital of Austria, aiming to bring together scholars from various fields studying ubiquitin/Ubl biology and protein degradation in a personal, family-like atmosphere, as suggested by the name.
