Molecular Origami: The Delicate Art of Protein Folding and Misfolding and Its Relevance to Health and Disease
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Judith Frydman is a biochemist and the Donald Kennedy Chair in the School of Humanities& Sciences and Professor of Genetics at Stanford University. Her research focuses on protein folding. Her laboratory discovered the molecular chaperone TRiC/CCT and determined its mechanism and function for protein folding. She was elected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts& Sciences in 2018 and as a Fellow of the Biophysical Society in 2019. In 2017, she was given the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology – Merck Award. She is an editor of the Journal of ...

Structure and Signaling Mechanisms of G Protein-Coupled and b-Arrestin-Biased Chemokine Receptors
IIG Seminar
Most chemokine receptors are G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs), and are best known for their role in controlling cell migration in the context of immune system function. They are also implicated in many diseases particularly inflammatory diseases as well as cancer and HIV, making them important therapeutic targets. Recent structural and biophysical studies have revealed that the recognition interface between chemokines and receptors is very large and characterized by more complex epitopes than previously believed. In this presentation, our current understanding of how chemokines bind and activate their recept...
