Redox on the Rise!

 Redox Biology Symposium, Kaiserslautern, April 11-12, 2013

Redox processes are of pivotal relevance for all cellular functions. The analyses of redox reactions has a long history but only the recent technical advances for example in the visualization of intracellular redox changes or in the proteome-wide determination of oxidative modifications showed the impressive relevance of redox process for all aspects of life sciences, ranging from basic research in biology to applied biotechnology and medicine. The biochemical principles as well as the physiologic roles of redox processes are studied by a large number of research groups working at universities of the Greater Region (Homburg, Liège, Luxembourg, Kaiserslautern, Metz, Nancy, Saarbrücken and Trier). The idea of this symposium is it to bring professors, postdocs and PhD students of these universities together to provide an overview on the research on redox biology in the Greater Region, to identify potential common interests and foster the interaction among researchers. In addition to the presentation of research projects of the participants in form of talks and posters there will be time to discuss possible strategies for further collaborations of the groups and the potential for the acquisition of research grants from national or European funding agencies.
