2026 North American Redox Symposium

Welcome Message

We are pleased and honored to invite you to the upcoming SfRBM 2026 North America Redox Symposium, to be held in the beautiful state of Vermont, on September 13-16, 2026. This conference will be organized around the central theme “Redox-based processes in chronic disease. From target discovery to clinical application” and will cover cutting edge research in the rapidly evolving field of redox biology and medicine. Scientific sessions will cover diverse topics such as redox mechanisms in chromatin remodeling, mitochondria biology, and endoplasmic reticulum stress, and their involvement in cancer and other chronic diseases. While we have already confirmed the participation of several prominent researchers in the field, our scientific program will also offer ample opportunity for speakers that will be selected from the most meritorious submitted abstracts by our program committee.

Confirmed speakers:

• Takaaki Akaike (Tohoku University, Japan)
• Liron Bar-Peled (Harvard Medical School, USA)
• Kate Carroll (Florida Atlantic University, USA)
• Edward Chouchani (Harvard Medical School, USA)
• Nadine Hempel (University of Pittsburgh, USA)
• Yvonne Janssen-Heininger (University of Vermont, USA)
• Hozumi Motohashi (Tohoku University, Japan)
• Peter Nagy (National Institute of Oncology, Hungary)
• Thales Papagiannakopoulos (New York University, USA)

Burlington, the largest city in Vermont, is located on the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain, and offers great opportunities for experiencing many wonders of Vermont, including the lovely Green Mountains, particularly during spectacular fall foliage season, various activities on or around Lake Champlain, as well as diverse cultural activities in and around Burlington.

We hope that our symposium will be a rewarding and stimulating event that will foster collaboration and enhance networking opportunities for the next generation of redox scientists. Please look out for upcoming updates regarding abstract submission and registration information in the near future. We look forward to welcoming you in Burlington this fall.
