São Paulo Advanced School on Redox Processes in Biomedicine

The I São Paulo Advanced School on Redox Processes in Biomedicine is a forum of discussions on the study of cellular redox processes, concerning chemistry, biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology and medicine. The design prioritizes an integrative and translational approach, with emphasis on mechanisms of redox processes associated with human disease. This international scientific meeting has the goal of raising the opportunity of high-level and in-depth discussions, involving selected trainees, to improve on their capacity to think big and search for advanced new horizons, and to more strongly focus into mechanisms of biochemical and cellular processes, rather than on phenomenological data gathering. The main tone is not only the advanced review of basic aspects, but also a strong emphasis on state-of-the-art conceptual and analytical approaches.
