DNA sensing and STING activation in lung inflammation

The registration is closed.

The purpose of this workshop to update on the latest developments of the cGAS/STING pathway, generate awareness on a major therapeutic progress for our colleagues in the Region Centre and define a focus on joint translational research projects for Regional and European funding.

Le Studium is organizing the workshop at the historic Dupanloup in the city center.

All presentation are 20 min and 10 min discussion.

Hotel reservation Saint Martin (02 38 53 02 28), near the station and conference Dupanloup.

For colleagues from far we suggest to meet on Sunday afternoon, and have a first dinner meeting.

Local delegates involved in STING research including our INEM team and members of biochemistry, organic chemistry the hospital. Basic and translational contributions, biomol, single cell seq,  pharmacology and clinical research contribution are welcome.
