Kazutoshi Mori to deliver key WCN’26 plenary on quality control of proteins and the endoplasmic reticulum 

Kazutoshi Mori, distinguished professor at Kyoto University’s Institute for Advanced Study, will present the WCN’26 plenary session “Dynamics of the function and regulation of the endoplasmic reticulum.” The lecture will explore how cellular stress responses are managed within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), with implications for chronic diseases, including those affecting the kidneys.  

Registration for WCN’26 opens September 16 – find out more! 

Professor Mori’s pioneering research in molecular and cellular biology has shed light on how cells adapt to protein misfolding stress and how these processes might be harnessed or corrected in future therapies. With decades of experience in Japan and the U.S., Professor Mori brings deep insight to one of the most dynamic areas in biomedical research.
