Workshop: Thyroid hormone cycle: biochemistry, structure, physiology, autoimmunity (Oct 23, 2024)
We cordially invite you to attend a workshop entitled “Thyroid hormone cycle: biochemistry, structure, physiology, autoimmunity”, which will be held on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, at Jožef Stefan Institute, Jamova 39, Ljubljana, in Kolar’s lecture hall (department K5).
The purpose of the workshop is to boost collaboration in thyroglobulin and thyroid hormone-related research. The workshop is sponsored by Instruct.SI to facilitate structural biology-related research.

| 10.00 | Irene Boniardi (Human Technopole, Milano, Italy): Molecular mechanism of thyroglobulin recognition by sortilin |
| 10.20 | Matteo Tassinari (Human Technopole, Milano, Italy): Molecular mechanism of thyroxine transport by monocarboxylate transporters |
| 10.40 | Marcin Drag (Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland): In search of perfection - the phenomenon of unnatural amino acids |
| 11.10 | break |
| 12.00 | Klemen Dretnik (IJS): Evolutionary hiccup or a hidden feature of thyroglobulin |
| 12.20 | Matej Novak (IJS): Towards structural understanding of thyroid hormone deiodination |
| 12.40 | Discussion: What can we do together |
| 14.00 | lunch |
