2026 Keystone Symposium - Autophagy: Mechanisms to Therapy
Date: February 2nd – 5th, 2026
Place: Keystone Resort, Keystone, CO, United States
Autophagy dysregulation has been linked to a wide range of diseases, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic disorders, and infections. However, further research is needed to fully understand the precise roles and mechanisms of autophagy in different disease contexts and its therapeutic potential. This meeting aims to address gaps in knowledge regarding the regulation, mechanisms, and therapeutic potential of selective autophagy in disease contexts. A further understanding of selective autophagy is critical for developing targeted therapeutic interventions and understanding disease mechanisms, as selective autophagy allows cells to specifically target and remove damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, and intracellular pathogens. This meeting will showcase ongoing basic research advances in the field, but also focus on translational research and industry developments in the area, which is unique among conferences around this topic. Additionally, this meeting will be held jointly with, “Membrane Dynamics, Repair and Disease,” which will provide excellent opportunities for engaging joint sessions of shared interest. One workshop will highlight tools and strategies to study and target autophagy, and may also include lessons learned from clinical trials.

Cells 2025 - Session H (Protein Quality Control, Proteasomal Degradation and Autophagy)
Date: March 25th – 27th, 2025
Place: Online
The 3rd International Online Conference on Cells. Charming Micro-Insights into Health and Diseases
On behalf of Cells I welcome you to our 2025 Virtual Conference. As with our previous 2 conferences of this series, we want to provide a highly interactive platforum for researchers all over the world to discuss major achievements as well as challenges in cell biology. Our goal is to cover a wide range of topics and to get feedback from seasoned researchers and from young investigators. Cells is a very dynamic journal with its eyes and ears always open to discoveries and novel emerging directions in cell biology. The goal of our 2025 Virtual Conference is to facilitate interaction between participants and to further advance the highly collaborative spirit of cell biology science. By covering such topics as cellular pathology of cancers, neural cell biology, cellular antivirus immune responses, cell therapies, cellular signaling, cell research in animal models, cellular metabolism, protein quality control, proteasomal degradation and autophagy, Cells remains at the forefront of scientific discourse. Over time, Cells has gained a reputation as a solid scientific journal, due to its unbiased peer-review process and great attention to every submitted paper.
We are privileged to host the 3rd Online Conference and are looking forward to oral presentations which shed light on complex mechanisms underlying cellular physiology and suggest novel treatment strategies for a wide spectrum of life-threatening pathologies.
SESSION H. Protein Quality Control, Proteasomal Degradation and Autophagy

4th Frankfurt Conference on Quality Control in Life Processes
Date: March 24th – 27th, 2025
Place: Frankfurt (Germany)
We are glad to announce the 4th Frankfurt Conference on Quality Control in Life Processes, organized by Ivan Đikić, Maike Windbergs, and Volker Dötsch taking place March 24-27, 2025 at Goethe University Frankfurt.
The conference series Frankfurt Conference on Quality Control in Life Processes was launched in Frankfurt in 2016 and aims at bringing together scientists at all career levels to discuss mechanisms of cellular homeostasis and their influence on the pathogenesis of diseases.
The upcoming fourth meeting will take place in March 2025 and aims to accelerate our understanding of quality control pathways and their interconnectivity and to utilize this knowledge for the improved treatment of human diseases. It will feature interdisciplinary sessions that cover topics including quality control mechanisms and networks, the interplay between autophagy and ubiquitin in health and disease and emerging therapeutics utilizing the ubiquitin system.
Registration is now open
Deadline: December 1st, 2024
