First International conference on nitrosylation in oncology and immunology
February 2-3, 2012, Dijon, France
Organizer : Jean-François Jeannin (Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, France)
Co-organizer : Benjamin Bonavida (University of California, Los Angeles, USA)
and the assistance of the Laboratory of cancer immunology and immunotherapy
Several reports have shown that S-nitrosylation, the covalent binding of nitric oxide (NO) to reactive cysteine, plays an important role in the post-translational regulation of protein activity. S-nitrosylation is implicated in numerous physiological processes such as synaptic transmission, vasodilatation, angiogenesis and inflammatory response.
The conference is a forum for scientists, physicians, students, pharmaceutical companies and investigators in different disciplines: oncology, immunology, chemistry, biochemistry. Participants from all over the world are expected to attend this conference.
