Prof Adrienne Edkins and two of her supervised PhD students, Natasha Boel and Michaelone Vaaltyn, made their way to Leysin in Switzerland to present their research at the 9th International conference on the Hsp90 chaperone machine. The conference was held in a mountain resort over 4 days. Natasha gave an oral presentation and Michaelone presented a poster at the conference. Of the 120 participants at the conference, they were the only South African representatives, which was a great opportunity for BioBRU to network, and interact with other international labs.

 

A meeting report of the conference will be published in the January or February 2019 issue of Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.
