Feedback from selected candidates

"Thank you very much again for the funding! It was a great opportunity for me to go and present my research at the GRC conference. The event was very well organised, and the presentation as well as the posters were dominated by unpublished research. Many aspect of the IDP were represented and LLPS was clearly in the main focus. I feel extremely lucky that I could meet and have a conversion with inspiring researchers from all around a world. I was really looking forward to talking to those people whose research so determining to the IDP field."

"The Leuven Protein Aggregation Meeting united a world leading researchers in the fields of protein self-assembly, misfolding protein, amyloid formation and structural biology. A wide range of topics was presented: structure and function of amyloidogenic proteins, the mechanism of the formation of amyloid structures, the molecular basis of toxicity of amyloids, anti-amyloid compounds as antimicrobial agents and biophysical methods to investigate amyloid. Particularly interesting topics are an interplay between phase separation and amyloid aggregation and new biophysical approaches to study phase separation (AFM-IR and FIDAbio). It was a great opportunity to established connect with a vibrant community of researchers working in the protein aggregation field and presented and discussed my results. Thank you for funding my travel and participation in this outstanding event!"
