About OEPM
We are pleased to announce the 9th Open European Peroxisome Meeting (OEPM 2024), which will take place from September 26th to 28th, 2024 at the Eden Roc Hotel in Spain.
OEPM is a biannual meeting organized by a European peroxisome research group. The first OEPM was in 2006 in Leuven (BEL), followed by meetings in Lunteren (NED), Dijon (FRA), Neuss (GER), Vienna (AUT), Groningen (NED), ZOOM, and Aveiro (POR).
OEPM aims to give young peroxisome researchers the opportunity to present their work to an international audience. Therefore, all talks are presented exclusively by early-stage researchers. In addition, all participants are encouraged to present their work in a poster.
We very much hope to see you at the OEPM2024 to what we believe will be an exciting meeting for researchers working on the various aspects of peroxisome biology.
The OEPM organization team,
Prof. Dr. Ralf Erdmann Prof. Dr. Michael Schrader
