The Small GTPases in Membrane Processes Conference
May 15–20, 2022
Nova Scotia, Canada
#SGTSRC22
Summary
May 15-20, 2022
The first FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) on this topic was launched in 2008 and focused on Arf GTPases. Over time, the SRCs progressively included Rabs, Rags, Ras, and Rhos. This year’s SRC explores small GTPases in regulation of membrane processes, coordination with cell functions, and connection to disease. The sessions cover topics on these GTPases and their partners in cell biology, disease, and pharmaceutical potential.
The conference brings together independent investigators and trainees in the basic cell biology community, translational scientists, and clinical researchers, all who have a high interest in small GTPases in membrane processes.

Program
The conference's main themes are: 1) Small GTPases in intracellular trafficking, including autophagy: from structure to regulation; 2) Coordination of trafficking with cell polarity and cytoskeleton; 3) Small GTPases in disease: from cancer to neurological disorders; 4) Using small GTPases as drug targets and possible cure.
Conference sessions will present the latest research and foster discussion on:
The conference covers nine sessions, two poster presentations, and one poster overview. The “Meet the Experts” sessions, scheduled during group dinners, give registrants the opportunity to sign up for and dine with one of the day’s speakers in a relaxed roundtable atmosphere.
A Career Development Session encourages students, trainees, and early-career scientists to meet with scientists from academia, industry, and government.
