Conference - Austin, TX, United States
The conference will:
• Explore the potential for new therapies based on understanding of autophagic processes to treat cancer as well as other diseases such as Chron’s disease, cardiomyopathy, immune regulation and metabolic disease;• Address key gaps in knowledge and discrepancies in the field, including an evaluation of which methodologies for assessing autophagic flux might be most accurate;
• Bring together basic researchers studying core autophagic processes, translational investigators studying the effects of autophagy modulation in preclinical models, and clinicians examining the outcome of autophagy inhibition in patients.
Session topics:
• Autophagosome Biogenesis and Trafficking
• Mitochondrial Autophagy
• Mechanisms of Autophagy
• Role of Autophagy in Neurodegeneration
• Impact of Autophagy in Cancer
• Pharmacological Manipulation of Autophagy
• Autophagy and Disease
• Interplay between Autophagy, Metabolism and Aging
plus workshops on late-breaking topics
