The Protein Kinases and Phosphorylation Conference: Mechanisms to Therapeutics
June 19–23, 2022
Nova Scotia, Canada
#PKPSRC22
Summary
June 19-23, 2022
Launched in 1983, this FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) has a strong tradition of scientific excellence, providing a premier venue for the communication of the latest unpublished research findings. This year’s SRC aims to highlight recent, cutting-edge findings in the field of protein phosphorylation, to bring together structural biology, biochemistry, systems biology, chemical biology, protein engineering, and medicine.
Protein kinases are frequently deregulated in human diseases, and they have been the focus of intense recent interest by the pharmaceutical industry. Most new drugs approved by the FDA in the last several years target kinases, and there are hundreds of new kinase inhibitors under development. This strong clinical connection provides an exciting link with translational science.
The conference advances the field by obtaining a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate important biological processes and facilitates the identification of critical targets for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and cure of human diseases.
The program is designed to promote cross-fertilization among normally separate disciplines to stimulate new lines of research, as well as enhance communication, collaboration, and career advancement for a diverse group of scientists across different disciplines. It encourages and supports speakers and presenters who are both diverse and representative of the field, including prominent women and minority scientists as well as promising young investigators.

Program
The conference's main themes are: 1) Structure/function and spatial/temporal aspects of protein kinases in cell biology; 2) Roles of protein kinases and protein phosphatases in cellular physiology and human pathophysiology; 3) Novel technologies and therapeutic approaches targeting protein kinases in the clinic.
Conference sessions will present the latest research and foster discussion on:
The conference covers eight sessions, with 17 shorts talks selected from abstracts, and “lightning talks” selected from trainee-submitted abstracts.The conference includes “Meet-the-Expert” sessions to encourage speakers to interact informally with young investigators and trainees, and a Career Development Workshop to discuss career choices, including academic careers and alternative career paths.
