Program
The program of the International RAB symposium on regulatory autoantibodies targeting G-protein-coupled receptors will address the field of GPCR antibody research with specific highlights on:
- anti-GPCR antibodies as biomarker in disease and therapeutic response
- anti-GPCR antibody-mediated pathways
- regulation of anti-GPCR abs
- Identification of novel therapeutic targets
Why to join?
Our aim is to bring scientists together, initiate discussions and stimulate research on these challenges. We would like to strengthen the research network to:
- identify new pathogenic targets, biomarkers and signalling pathways to find a holistic way to understand diseases
- To identify effectors that influence the disease-specific transcriptome and secretome
- understand how environmental factors and genes can be transformed into molecular pathways
- Develop novel therapeutic strategies
