The engulfment of extracellular solutes or particles by macropinocytosis is an important process with newly appreciated significance for fundamental cell biology, cancer, infectious diseases and therapeutics. This first-of-its-kind meeting devoted to macropinocytosis will bring together experts from disparate fields with a shared interest in the biology of macropinosome formation and trafficking, with the goal of fostering collaboration and building a community.
The schedule of talks and speaker biographies can be found below. Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the meeting has taken place.
