3^rd Cell Death, Cell Stress & Metabolism Conference

07 May - 10 May 2022 • Cancun, Mexico

Conference Manager

Jack Peters

Synopsis

The interplay between cell death, cell stress and metabolism is crucial for sensing danger posed by pathogens but also in the response to pathogen-independent tissue damage. These processes are almost invariably associated with inflammation which can result in several different outcomes: (i) induction of an effective immune response to the infective agent; (ii) increased tissue damage; and (iii) and the immunological response that is mounted to response to them. At this conference we will discuss the basic biological principles that govern cell death, cell stress and metabolism. We will also cover how cellular stress and alterations in metabolism influence the cellular death programs such as apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis and others. Importantly, this conference aims to become the go-to forum at which the most current and up-to-date therapeutic avenues in the fields of cell death, cell stress and metabolism will be presented and discussed.

Key Sessions

Tumor Metabolism and Cell Intrinsic Pathways
Cancer Biology and the Tumor Microenvironment
Translational Control Mechanisms and Oncogenesis
Cell Death and Inflammation Signaling

Location

Cancun is a delightful combination of natural beauty, islands, ecological reserves and white sandy beaches. However, besides sun, sand and sea, this destination also offers an infinite variety of underwater activities to choose from: the diving, snorkelling and fishing here are outstanding and you will find an undersea world packed with tropical fish that live on the second largest barrier reef in the world. Sports enthusiasts might choose one of the many eco-tourism activities, such as cycling or hiking through the tropical forest or kayaking through mangroves, or something a little more adventuresome, like zip lining through the treetops.

Apart from the more well-known ancient Mayan archealogical sites such as Tulum, Cobá and Chichén Itzá you may like to visit the Aktun Chen caverns, voted one of the Top 10 underwater walks by National Geographic described as a truly magical experience.
