Everything that happens in life is stressful, and everything that you do is coping. With great pleasure therefore we invite you to the VIIth International Congress on Stress response in Biology and Medicine, to be held in Huangshan City, China September 15-19, 2015. The congress will gather together the world's most prominent researchers in stress science, and focus on stress and health-from molecular to human, including the basic biology and translational sciences. This congress will offer a global perspective on stress science and a great opportunity to gather and enjoy stress-sciences in the professional environment. We will particularly encourage the active participation of graduate students and early career researchers.
The Congress follows previous meetings in Sheffield (2013), Quebec (2011), Sapporo (2009), Budapest (2007), Tomar (2005) and Quebec (2003), but this is the first time it has been held in China. Stress medicine in China has developed considerably in recent years. More and more scientific researchers are focusing on stress medicine and biology. Nearly 1,000 articles on stress medicine are published every year in SCI journals by Chinese researchers. Now China has established an academic committee on stress physiology to promote its scientists working in this field. The 2015 congress in Huangshan City will play an important role in further developing stress medicine and biology in China. Most importantly, we hope the congress will help in the contribution of stress science for human health in the world.
The programming the congress will center on the core science areas in the field of stress and health, as shown below:
1. STRESS BIOLOGY - PSYSIOLOGICAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL
2. SMALL HEAT SHOCK PROTEINS I: STRUCTURE and REGULATION
3. SMALL HEAT SHOCK PROTEINS II: FUNCTION
4. STRESS AND BRAIN NETWORKS
5. PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS, EMOTIONAL AND COGNITIVE
6. CHAPERONES AND MITOCHONDRIAL HOMEOSTASIS
7. STRESS AND IMMUNE REGULATION
8. STRESS AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
9. ACTIVATING STRESS RESPONSES TO PREVENT AND TREAT MAJOR DISEASES
10. TRANSCRIPTION UNDER STRESS
11. STRESS GRANULES
12. STRESS AND DISEASES
13. STRESS AND WOMAN'S HEALTH
14. EXERCISE AND STRESS
We are currently developing the program so check back here regularly for updates.
The meeting site, Huangshan City, is one of the most beautiful ancient cities in China, and is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Mount Huangshan as well as Hongcun and Xidi. Mount Huangshan means Yellow Mountain in Chinese, and this area has inspired countless Chinese painters and poets for thousands of years. It is known as the most beautiful mountain in China with its grotesque rock formations, its uniquely shaped pine trees growing out of cliffs, marvelous seas of clouds and crystal-clear hot springs. The beauty of Huangshan city will reduce our stress, lighten our mood, help our health and create the prefect environment for academic communication and cooperation.
Welcome to China.
Welcome to Huangshan city.
We will look forward to see you there.
With best wishes and kind regards
Organizing Committee of the Cell Stress Society International and
Subcommittee of Stress Physiology,
Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences
