Welcome to the Calcium Signalling Conference in Fez website. The meeting includes some of the foremost contributors to current research in calcium signalling.
The aim of this meeting is to promote maximal informal scientific interactions and an open research dialogue. We hope the attendees will present preliminary and probing new work with bold predictions for the future. The conference is along the lines of the former Novartis research meetings some might remember, including prominent researchers in the field, all of whom either give talks and/or introduce and lead discussion sessions.
The main goal of this meeting is to promote awareness of quite diverse aspects of calcium signalling, including: 1) Molecular mechanisms controlling channel operation; 2) Organellar interactions and function in the generation of calcium signals; 3) How calcium signals relate to disease states; 4) Novel approaches and technologies in defining the operation of calcium signals.
Another goal of the meeting is to take stock of the development and directions of our field. Many of the attendees have been regularly involved in the Gordon Research Conference on Calcium Signalling. This conference was highly successful since 1993 and ended in 2017 for reasons that have no bearing on our new meeting. Our meeting this year is simply to allow close scientific interactions to continue and to look to the future for a scientifically exciting, prominent, and unique field, which has always operated with a collegial, inclusive and highly interactive group of researchers.
As a reminder of the prominence of this meeting, below is a photo the “first ever” Calcium Signalling Gordon Conference. Obviously there have been many changes and additions to the field since 1993, but a number of the initial contributors are still very active in the field and we look to the future to expand and include many more. (Why “Signalling” with double-L? This is correct in US and UK English; the single-L spelling in US is incorrect in UK English!)
