The 20th D. Harold Copp Lecture with Dr. Ramanujan Hegde

Join the Department of Cellular & Physiological Sciences for the 20th D. Harold Copp Lecture with Dr. Ramanujan Hegde, on “Orphan Protein Quality Control in Health and Disease”. Join in-person or online on April 5, 2024.

The D. Harold Copp Lecture is a UBC Faculty of Medicine sponsored lectureship that arose in November 1996 through donations from the Medical Research Council of Canada and the Wolfe and Gita Churg Foundation. Named after the late Doctor D. Harold Copp, the Copp Lecture is hosted each year by the Faculty of Medicine and speakers are nominated by members of the Faculty, and selected by the Copp Lecture committee.

Dr. Ramanujan Hedge is Head of the Cell Biology Division at the MRC Molecular Biology Laboratory (Cambridge, UK). In this talk, Dr. Hegde will discuss his research investigating cell proteins, including understanding how errors occur, and how these errors can cause neurodegenerative disorders, cancers and other disease.
