About the Workshop

Redox reactions are central to all life. It is therefore unsurprising that organisms have evolved numerous strategies to monitor and respond to different cellular redox species. Central to these processes are redox-regulated proteins, which respond to specific redox species via oxidative post-translational modification of defined cysteine residues (thiol oxidation). Protein thiol oxidation is increasingly recognised as an important regulator of many physiological processes whilst aberrant regulation may play a key role in many different pathologies.

This EMBO Workshop will bring together researchers employing a broad range of methodologies and model organisms to understand mechanisms and targets of protein thiol oxidation as well the relevance of thiol oxidation for organismal physiology and pathology.

The hotel has ~50 double rooms for single occupancy and 50 double (twin) rooms for shared occupancy. Single occupancy rooms therefore cannot be offered to all conference attendees. Students and postdocs will be required to share a room.

Transport

There are daily flights from most major international airports to Barcelona airport, which is located approximately 120 km from the conference venue (Hotel Eden Roc). Alternatively, Girona airport is less well served by international flights but is much closer (~30 km) to the conference venue. Shuttle buses will be organised to transfer conference attendees between Barcelona or Girona airport and the conference venue on the first and last day of the conference.

Please indicate your requirement for a shuttle bus to and from either Barcelona or Girona airport and the time that you require by sending an email to g.schon@mx.uni-saarland.de

Shuttle buses to Hotel Eden Roc on the 19th September 2021:

Shuttle buses will leave Barcelona airport at 1pm and 3pm.

A shuttle bus will leave Girona airport at 3pm.
