How we sense the environment, including our internal state, is a fundamental question in Biology. It is crucial for understanding human physiology but also helps explain the detection of signals by insects spreading deadly diseases like malaria or dengue. Despite important advances in this field in the last years, many critical questions remain. This workshop brings together eminent scientists from across the world who have a shared interest in sensory signaling, from structural biology to translating basic science into therapeutic approaches. Speakers will discuss recent advances including the structures of sensory ion channels and receptors, the discovery and role of sensory receptors in physiology and disease, signaling in the neuroimmune interface and the development of new methods and molecular sensors. Finally, we will discuss the pathophysiology of cellular sensors in relation to various diseases, including pain, and the restoration of sensory functions. Our aim is to discuss advances in cellular sensors from a range of model organisms, analyzed at different levels of complexity, from the molecular dissection of their function to the design and implementation of artificial sensors for controlled drug release. The workshop should be attractive to researchers working in a range of fields, including neuroscience, immunology, physiology, biophysics, chemical biology and bioengineering.

The aim of the workshop is to provide an integrated view of our current understanding of different cellular sensors and their biological relevance. The workshop should be attractive to researchers and students working in different fields (chemical biology, biophysics, bioengineering, immunology, neuroscience) and using different model systems. "See application guidelines"
FORMATE OF THE WORKSHOP:
The workshop will bring together 15 speakers and a maximum of 35 participants. The scientific programme will start on Tuesday 29th October in the morning and will end on Thursday 31th October in the morning. Ample time for informal discussion will be reserved. Participants will be invited to present a poster. Some abstracts will be selected for a short presentation.
VENUE OF THE WORKSHOP:
The workshop will be held in Baeza, at the “Antonio Machado Headquarters”, a XVII century building turned into a Conference Centre of the International University of Andalusia (UNIA). A complex made up of two historic buildings: the Jabalquinto Palace (XV/XVI centuries) and the old Seminary (XVII century) located in the heart of the historic complex, among the old University, church of Santa Cruz, the cathedral and the Upper Town Halls.
This site includes a recently restored residence, where speakers and participants will be accommodated. This same space is where the meetings will be held, which facilitates social interaction and informal discussions.
Baeza is a world historic heritage town, renowned for its Renaissance and Gothic buildings.
ACCOMMODATION:
We recommend all participants to stay in the University Residence, which is located in the same space where the Meetings will take place, to facilitate social interaction and informal discussions.
The accommodation in the University Residence is in shared double rooms, as there are not single rooms: €20/day. To make the reservation and the corresponding payment you must be previously registered for the workshop and then contact:
