# 2020 Oxygen Radicals Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS)

> **NIH NIH R13** · GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCES · 2020 · $25,000

## Abstract

Project Summary
This conference grant proposal seeks funds for a Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Oxygen Radicals:
Chemical Reactivity, Metabolism, and Opportunities for Therapeutic Development to be held in Ventura CA
February 2-7, 2020, in conjunction with a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) for trainees, organized by two
trainees (Cheryl van de Wetering, and Rhea Bovee), to be held immediate prior to the GRC, February 1-2, 2020
at the same location. We present an exciting program that brings together diverse fields of oxidant research,
integrating recent discoveries of new oxidant species, with methodological advances, studies of biology,
organelle dysfunction and metabolism, and aging, and plenary and round table discussions focusing on redox-
based drugs in clinical development. The program includes senior scientists (giving the keynote lectures), as
was as junior and mid-career scientists, and we have 10 slots for invited talks from submitted abstracts. Speakers
are from academia, industry and the NIH, represent 19 countries and will be sharing their latest discoveries in
nine sessions: Keynote session I: Oxygen Radicals: connecting chemistry with biology and medicine;
Mitochondria from energy power houses to metabolite regulators; Oxygen radicals in stem cell function,
senescence and aging; Redox in translation: Hurdles and ways forward toward therapeutics; Endoplasmic
reticulum-redox control of proteostasis and dysregulation in disease; Reactive lipids in death, homeostasis and
as therapeutics: Ferroptosis, and beyond; Advances in redox sensors, probes, and diagnostics; Oxygen radicals
in metabolism; Keynote session II: Technical advances in the study of oxygen radicals; opportunities and
challenges. Other conference highlights are the power hour and representation by women with a twitter feed
#REDOXWOMEN and assurance that at least 40% of all presenters or discussion leaders are women. We will
have elevator pitch sessions to highlight posters, and a policy of first questions by trainees. We will have welcome
tables and social events to be inclusive of new attendees and continue the tradition of the Iron Bolt Award for
the most notable comment. Collectively, this program will ensure a vibrant and collegial atmosphere to share the
top discoveries in research on oxygen radicals, their involvement in disease and aging and potential avenues for
therapeutic development.
