The biennial ICAP/ICAN conferences were first organized 55 years ago under the leadership of the late Werner Karl Maas. Once a chance for microbiologists to come together to discuss the emerging field of arginine biochemistry and metabolism, the joint ICAP/ICAN conference has grown to encompass and advance knowledge of not only arginines, but also pyrimidines, amino acids, and nucleotides as they relate to biological processes, health and disease.

 

The goal of the joint conference is to facilitate interaction and collaboration among attendees. We encourage abstracts from multiple scientific disciplines including molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology, bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, parasitology, drug design and development, translational & clinical research, etc. 

​

The conference will be held in a hybrid fashion, both in-person and virtually. The in-person conference will take place at Chestnut Residence of the University of Toronto in the heart of downtown Toronto on June 28-30th, 2022. Immediately following which marks Canada's 155th birthday (July 1st) where, should you choose, you can indulge in a variety of Canadian festivities and  firework displays.
