Posted by FocalPlane, on 16 September 2025

Registration is open for our upcoming mini-symposium together with the popular Membrane Trafficking webinar series, organised by Francesca Bottanelli, Felix Campelo and Ishier Raote. Our event, on Thursday 25 September from 15:00-17:00 BST (UTC+1), will be a celebration of the membrane trafficking community and will feature a keynote lecture from Gillian Griffiths (Yale University) on ‘Unexpected membrane dynamics in T cells’.

In addition to Gillian’s presentation, we’ll be hosting talks from Nick Ader (UNC Greensboro), Hannes Maib (University of Sheffield) and Mónica Quiñones-Frías (Brandeis University).
