The CrickConnect team are delighted to be able to invite community members to join us for the institute's regular Crick Lecture.

Crick Lectures provide a broad insight into biomedical research from leading scientists. Not to be missed, the one-hour lectures are the event of the week for the Crick community to come together. 

Crick Lectures take place weekly (usually on Thursday at 16:00), and are given by leading scientists. The lectures aim to be accessible to scientists across different disciplines, while also offering something for the specialist.

Due to the pioneering and sensitive nature of some of the research discussed in these lectures, only Crick Lectures from selected speakers will be shared, and we ask all attendees to respect the private nature of these talks by refraining from making any type of recording, sharing access details or in any other way compromising the research that is discussed.

Ivan Dikic, Director of the Institute of Biochemistry II at Goethe University Frankfurt will be giving this week's Crick Lecture, title to be confirmed. 

There will also be a netwroking opportunity after the Lecture from 17:00. If you are able to join us in person at the Crick please let us know at connect@crick.ac.uk so we can arrange access.

The Dikic Molecular Signaling laboratory focuses on studying molecular mechanisms of the two major degradation pathways – the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy. Degradation of cellular components, either through the UPS or the lysosome (autophagy), is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Disruption to either of the processes can lead to neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and other pathologies. It is critical to understand the structure and function of individual components within each of these pathways.
