Calcium Signaling
Calcium signaling is a universal and critical mechanism that regulates a plethora cellular functions in both electrically excitable and non-excitable cells. Dysfunctional calcium signaling is linked to a growing number of human pathologies, including neurologic, immunologic, metabolic, and oncologic diseases. The meeting will focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of calcium signaling in health and disease, featuring sessions on excitable and non-excitable cells that will cover basic mechanisms and translational/clinical aspects of the field.
Meet the Speakers
We are bringing together an outstanding group of scientists at the forefront of the research in the calcium signaling field. This two day meeting will have three plenary talks and 16 presentations by leaders in the field from around the world. The presentations will cover the most recent advances in our understanding of several fundamental aspects of calcium signaling, including the role and regulation of plasma membrane and intracellular ion channels, the contributions of organelles in shaping Ca²⁺ signals, the cross-talk between Ca²⁺ signaling and other signal transduction pathways, and how calcium signaling can be harnessed to develop therapeutic strategies in the clinical setting.
