Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Mitochondria in Nervous System Function and Disease 2017

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Mitochondria in Nervous System Function and Disease is organized by Biochemical Society and would be held during Mar 27 - 29, 2017 at Charles Darwin House Conference Centre, London, England, United Kingdom. This CME conference has been approved with 45 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondria have key roles in neuronal function and neurological disease. Many outstanding questions remain about the basic mechanisms involving ROS and normal neuronal function and how they contribute to disease. This meeting will provide a cutting edge forum to address these issues by bringing together leading scientists, as well as researchers who are new to the field, to present their current research and discuss future directions.

The major themes of the meeting are:
• ROS in signal transduction
• Mitochondria as a signalling organelle
• ROS and mitochondrial signalling in neuronal function
• New techniques for visualising ROS and mitochondria
• ROS and mitochondrial signalling in translational medicine
