8:00 am - 9:00 am | Thursday, Friday, Saturday

The Sunrise Free Radical School (SFRS) will kick off each day of our Annual Conference. The Sunrise Free Radical School is designed to provide a detailed overview of the basic concepts of free radical chemistry and biology and is targeted towards students, fellows and those wishing to learn about new areas. A faculty of highly respected investigators in free radical research will deliver lectures and provide key literature references in their subject areas.

PLENARY SESSIONS

9:30 am - 12:00 pm | Thursday, Friday, Saturday

Plenary sessions, which will be held during each morning of the Annual Conference, will be comprised of speakers who will address common or closely related topics. Each will deliver a 20-25 minute talk followed by a 5-10 minute question and answer session moderated by a two-member panel.

• The Role of Mitochondria and Redox Biology in Regulating Inflammation in Human Diseases: From Infection to Metabolism
• Mitochondrial Metabolites and Tissue Health and Disease
• Membrane Redox State: A Matter of Life and Death
• Uric Acid in the Etiology of Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Disease
• Targeting Redox Metabolism in Cancer Treatment Resistance: From Chemistry and Biology to the Clinic

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERIES

1:00 pm - 2:15 pm | Thursday and Friday
