We are pleased to announce the Buenos Aires Conference on Autophagy and Vesicular Trafficking, Mechanisms, and Disease 2023, to be held at the Quirno Foundation (Talcahuano 1234, City of Buenos Aires) on December 6th and 7th.
The conference will culminate with the conferral ceremony of the Doctor Honoris Causa degree by the University of Buenos Aires to Professor Ana Maria Cuervo (Albert Einstein Medical College, NY, NY, USA) on December 7th at 12:00 in the Conference Room of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, UBA (Junín 956, 1113 Buenos Aires)

The Buenos Aires Research Conference 2023 is the fifth conference on autophagy to be held in Argentina and was initiated in 2011, becoming the first meeting on autophagy held in the southern hemisphere. Its aim is to cover recent developments in the field, crucial for our understanding of the multifaceted role of autophagy in celular homeostasis and as a possible therapeutic target in human diseases such as cancer, infections, degenerative, inflammatory, and metabolic diseases. In this edition, the treatment of new non-canonical aspects of autophagy was incorporated: vesicular transport and extracellular vesicles.
Likewise, the focus of application to the study of the physiopathology of complex diseases,
cell development and differentiation. This meeting will be of interest to scientists from different research fields and given its translational nature, the conference is of broad interest to basic and clinical researchers, as well as to companies dedicated to the development of new diagnostic and treatment strategies.
This event is a unique opportunity for young researchers from Argentina and Latin America to interact, receive advice and initiate collaborative work with leading and foundational researchers in the field.
