Redox Signaling Factors: From the Molecular Mechanisms to the Physiological Consequences

The Gordon Research Seminar on Thiol-Based Redox Regulation and Signaling is a unique forum for early career scientists to present and exchange new data and cutting-edge ideas. This meeting is ideal for young scientists to extend their scientific network, conceive new ideas and foster future collaborations. The focus of this meeting is to provide an inviting social and intellectual atmosphere for the exchange, presentation, and discussion of new/unpublished data on cutting edge topics by young investigators with comparable experience and education that share a common interest in thiol oxidation, oxidative stress, and redox signaling.

Thiol-based redox modifications take part in many cellular processes, and alterations in the redox pathways are associated with the development and progression of many diseases. This meeting will focus on the basic biochemistry of redox signaling and its functional consequences in physiological and pathophysiological scenarios. Discussion topics include the development of novel tools to study thiol modifications and to monitor and image redox processes in real-time.
