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.
Keep your UBC Zoom meetings and online classes secure by familiarizing yourself with UBC IT’s recommended Zoom privacy and security settings.
If you are hosting a public event on Zoom, remember that additional steps need to be taken to keep your session secure from incidents such as ‘Zoom bombings’ — where intruders take over a Zoom session by saying or showing inappropriate content.
Read the list of guidelines on preventing Zoom bombings on the UBC IT website, and see five tips from the Digital Solutions Information Security team below.
