European NF-kappaB Subunit Workshop, 6-8 October 2014, Atholl Palace Spa Hotel, Pitlochry, Scotland

Public Notice:
"On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are delighted to invite you to participate in the second European NF-kappaB Subunit Workshop, to be held at Atholl Palace Spa Hotel in Pitlochry, Scotland from 6th to 8th October 2014.

The NF-kappaB transcription factor is essential for immune development and homeostasis, but is also a broad regulator of fundamental cellular processes that control the cell cycle, proliferation, differentiation and autophagy. NF-kappaB also has a central role in many important human diseases including chronic inflammation, cancer and atherosclerosis. There are five subunits within the NF-kappaB family, each of which can have independent or combined functions. Although the NF-kappaB pathway is the subject of intensive research, the function of these independent subunits has traditionally been overlooked. The objective of this workshop is to increase our understanding of these subunits and their role in disease.

The first European NF-kappaB Subunit Workshop was held in Germany in 2012 and was considered a tremendous success. The outcomes from this meeting were increased collaboration, sharing of reagents/biological tools and more coherence within the community. With the 2014 meeting, we aim to continue to build our knowledge in this subject area and increase relations between researchers across Europe, with thoughts of collaborative proposals for Horizon 2020.

The workshop will be held in beautiful Pitlochry, in the heart of Scotland. In addition to the scientific programme, we will also ensure that delegates have the opportunity to experience Scottish hospitality and culture through the conference dinner and ceilidh.

We look forward to welcoming you to Scotland in 2014!
