The 2021 FASEB Virtual Catalyst Conference on Extracellular and Organismal Proteostasis in Health and Disease, February 3‐4, 2021

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) virtual Catalyst Conferences are meetings geared to establish a scientific community around an emerging scientific topic in the field. The first FASEB virtual Catalyst Conference on Extracellular and Organismal Proteostasis in Health and Disease was held on February 3-4, 2021, organized by Dr. Patricija van Oosten-Hawle (University of Leeds, Leeds, UK), Dr. Ruth Scherz-Shouval (Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, Israel) and Dr. Rebecca Taylor (Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK) (Figure 1). The meeting was attended by 372 people and brought together 15 speakers who are experts in different aspects of proteostasis. The main goal of this conference was to unite pioneers in the field of extracellular proteostasis who are exploring new horizons beyond the boundaries of the cell.
