Because of COVID-19, the next Munich Muscle Meeting (MMM) must again be an online Zoom meeting. This is disappointing as we cannot meet in person. On the other hand it offers us the possibility of inviting distinguished muscle researchers. This time, we are delighted that we managed to persuade Prof. Dr. Stefano Schiaffino as the main speaker for this MMM. The title of his talk will be: “Fiber types in skeletal muscle: from anti-myosin antibodies to single fiber proteomics ... and beyond”. His talk will include a brief historical retrospective and then move to the perspectives opened by novel approaches, such as single fiber proteomics and single myonuclei RNA-seq. Stefano Schiaffino is a legend in muscle research with many stand out findings especially in relation to muscle fibre types as well as mechanisms of muscle adaptation to exercise. He is now an emeritus Professor at the Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine of the University of Padova (Italy) but a very research-active emeritus Professor as his talk will show!
The whole program of the meeting you will find in our Munich Muscle Meeting Flyer. If you heven´t registerd to the meetin, please follo the Zoom registration link.
