Abstract & early booking deadlines: 27 July 2023.

The cAMP signalling pathway plays a central role in human health and disease. In the last 20 years there has been  a radical change in the way we understand how cAMP signalling operates, with the realization that the pathway is organized in nanodomains with specific subcellular localisation, leading to a highly compartmentalized regulation of cellular function. As we understand more about the organization of the pathway, it is becoming clear that disruption of cAMP anchored signalling leads to disease in multiple systems, including the heart and vasculature, the brain, the endocrine and immune systems and that disruption of this organization results in pathological conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and metabolic disorders. The organization of the cAMP pathway in subcellular compartments provides an opportunity to selectively manipulate the signal locally, opening the possibility to develop precision therapy interventions. For this, a detailed understanding of the composition, regulation and function of individual cAMP nanodomains and their cellular context is essential. 

The meeting provides a forum to discuss new discoveries and to forge new collaborations to further advance our appreciation of this signalling pathway and its role in human health and disease. The aim is to bring together leading scientists from academia and industry and to provide the opportunity to young investigators (including students and post-docs) to showcase their work.  Oral communication slots are available at this meeting and speakers will be selected from submitted poster abstracts.
