The endosomal and lysosomal system is a complex and highly dynamic network of compartments involved in many processes, including subcellular trafficking, macromolecule degradation as well as signaling. As a biologist and expert in subcellular fractionation methods, Michel Jadot has made remarkable contributions to the understanding of lysosomal function/dysfunction and how lysosomal proteins are targeted to lysosomes.

Join us as we celebrate Michel's 40-year research career and delve into the fascinating world of lysosomes with our five guest speakers. This one-day meeting will serve as a platform to showcase the latest advancements in the field and foster scientific exchanges among researchers. It will reflect the diverse facets of lysosomal research, from basic research to therapeutic applications.
