Conference Overview
Since the discovery of intracellular lipid binding proteins (originally called “fatty acid binding proteins”) more than 30 years ago, the structure, function, and regulation of the genes that encode them have been studied intensely. In 1989, the first conference devoted to intracellular lipid binding proteins brought together the leading researchers in this emerging field. Subsequent conferences held in Europe, North America, and Asia have gradually expanded their scope to include other proteins interacting with lipids and other lipophilic ligands. The regular recurrence of the International Conference on Lipid Binding Proteins has greatly facilitated collaborations and opened new research venues in a field that has become of increasing important for the understanding of various chronic diseases and their treatment.
Building the success of the previous conferences, the 6th International Conference on Lipid Binding Proteins Conference will continue to focus on the importance of lipid binding proteins on basic cellular function, in health and disease
