Meeting Summary

This meeting will proceed as planned. As the omicron surge wanes, we expect it will be safe to convene in-person by this time and will be implementing special COVID-19 safety measures to protect the health and safety of all attendees. It is critically important to both the science, and the scientific community, that we do so, to ensure scientific exchange, connection and innovation that have been stifled by the pandemic. The Science Must Go On!

Microproteins, largely overlooked until the past decade, appear to play interesting and sometimes outsized roles in biological regulation across the tree of life. From peptides that are important for transcriptional regulation in plants to bacterial small proteins that regulate the function of multidrug efflux pumps to micropeptides that modulate muscle performance in mammals, we are just now discovering the wealth of biological properties of these small proteins. In this meeting, we will bring together experimental biologists, computational biologists, structural biologists, biochemists, microbiologists, physician scientists and technologists to share cutting edge insights in this emerging field of interest. This will be the very first meeting, to our knowledge, that is focused on microproteins - and the group of scientists who will be in attendance are unlikely to have an opportunity to meet in any other forum.
