Welcome to Paris Redox World Congress 2016

 

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure to announce the organization of the 17th International Conference on Oxidative Stress Reduction, Redox Homeostasis and Antioxidants to be held at Institut Pasteur in Paris, France from June 13 to 15, 2016. 

During Paris Redox World Congress 2016, we will discuss the role of antioxidants as modulators of redox signaling pathways rather than players that counteract oxidative stress. Antioxidants affect cell signaling provided by redox processes. Mitochondria consist of localized signaling domains and produce reactive oxygen species, ROS (i.e. Superoxide and Hydrogen Peroxide), which are signaling molecules generated by the respiratory chain.

Furthermore, we will analyze the mechanisms by which cells respond to oxidative stress and prevent cell damage and cell death, with a particular focus on neurons and neurological conditions, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney, muscle, and liver pathologies. Additionally, the mechanisms of redox regulation of cellular processes will be discussed.

Little is known on the specific targets of ROS and how oxidant and antioxidant signals are transmitted in the cell. To understand mechanisms of redox control and their role in oxidative stress pathologies and aging, it is necessary to identify and dissect the function of the key players of redox processes. We will also highlight oxidative stress evaluation and discuss the recent advances on biomarkers, related to redox alteration.

Paris Redox 2016 aims to make an important contribution towards a better understanding of redox control in physiological and pathological states that will lead to new therapeutic and disease-preventive agents.

 

Among strategic topics discussed during ISANH Redox 2016:

  • Oxidative Stress, Redox Regulation & Modulation and Redox-Active Agents
  • Oxidative Stress & Biomarkers: Imaging of Oxidative Stress
  • Oxidative Stress & Stem Cells
  • Beneficial effects of Oxidative Stress vs deleterious effects of antioxidants
  • New Players in Redox balance
  • Oxidative Stress, Ageing & Longevity: Where are we now?
  • Oxidative Stress & Chronic Diseases: From Predictive to Preventive Medicine
  • Oxidative Stress, Antioxidants & Innovations

We look forward to meeting you in Paris for this exciting program in June.
