Dr. Artur Pirog represented the ICCVS team at the EMBO conference “Protein Quality Control: From Molecular Mechanisms to Aging and Disease”, held in Hersonissos, Greece (18-23 May 2025). The event brought together researchers from around the world to share the knowledge about proteostasis, the clearance of misfolded proteins, molecular mechanisms of chaperone activity, and novel therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases. Discussions also highlighted the critical role of protein folding and quality control systems, particularly within mitochondria.
Dr. Pirog presented a poster detailing a novel method for the direct, mass spectrometry-based quantification of protein degradation products. The presentation also showcased the application of this method in studying the mechanisms of action of proteasome inhibitors (see the photo).
