International Conference on 
Nucleocytoplasmic Transport

The International Conference on Nucleocytoplasmic Transport, launched in 1992, brings together researchers working on a broad range of topics related to nucleocytoplasmic transport. One notable topic is the nuclear pore complex (NPC)—a large and dynamic gateway with remarkable complexity and flexibility. Studying its structure and function has revealed key mechanisms of transport and shed light on chromatin organization, disease, and viral interactions. Studies based on non-model organisms, such as plants and protozoa, are also welcome. The meeting continues to evolve, reflecting the expanding scope of the field and its integration with various aspects of nuclear and cellular biology.

​Topics
  • Nucleocytoplasmic transport factors and pathways, and regulation

  • Nuclear pore complex (NPC) structure and dynamics

  • Nucleoporins

  • Nuclear envelope (NE) structure and function

  • Chromatin organization 

  • Cell reprogramming

  • Disease caused by dysfunction of NPC/Nucleocytoplasmic transport

  • Infectious diseases (e.g., viral infections)

  • Emerging technologies

  • Others related to nuclear functions
