7th International Meeting on Yeast Apoptosis

7th International Meeting on Yeast Apoptosis
Meerscheinschlössl Graz, Styria, Austria
September 09th-13th, 2009


The 7th International Meeting on Yeast Apoptosis will bring together investigators from around the world to present and discuss research employing yeasts as model organisms to study apoptosis and its role in stress responses, aging and development.

This meeting will extend the tradition of six highly successful meetings devoted to this topic held in Austria, Slovakia, Portugal, United States, Czech Republic and Belgium during the past 7 years. The Meeting will begin on the evening of Wednesday, September 9th and conclude late in the morning on the Sunday 13th.

These sessions will cover a variety of topics, including:
Systems Biology of apoptosis
Mitochondrial apoptotic pathways
Caspase-dependent and independent apoptosis
Age-induced programmed cell death´
Alternative cell death forms (e.g. necrosis, autophagic death)
Yeast as a model for neurodegeneration
Targeting apoptosis in unicellular parasites and pathogenic fungi
Yeast as a model for lipotoxic cell death
Opportunities will be available for oral and poster presentations.
