Keystone Symposia

The conference concentrates on the interface between omics-level sciences as applied to and integrated with classical molecular- and cell-biological studies. and brings together researchers who are applying and developing omics approaches to interrogate system-level networks with an ultimate goal of understanding the functions of proteins of therapeutic importance. 

The goal of this meeting is to provide attendees with the most recent developments in the understanding of cellular processes that contribute to atherosclerosis, with focus on cholesterol metabolism and foam cell formation, genetics, and the immune system. In addition to atherosclerosis-specific plenary sessions, four joint sessions are planned to highlight major developments in areas of mutual interest to investigators in the fields of atherosclerosis and macrophage biology. 

The goal of this meeting is to appreciate for the complexity and beauty of the vasculature and present the most current research on the vasculature by breaking down the blood vessel into individual cells and examine the function of organelles within each cell type.

This meeting brings together leading scientists involved in basic research into NF-kB family of transcription factors and the signaling pathway and regulation, its involvement in disease and development of various strategies to inhibit NF-kB activation.
