Niche-epithelial Stem Cell Interactions in Lung Health and Disease Conference

#Fusionlung19


20 Jul 2019 - 23 Jul 2019

Lisbon, Portugal

Chairs

Saverio Bellusci
Justus-Liebig-Universitaet Giessen, ECCPS

Synopsis

The different epithelial stem/progenitor cells identified so far in the different regions of the lung interact with specific stromal, and physical/mechanical, niches. Some of these niches have recently been characterized. These niches dictate the quiescence of the epithelial stem/progenitor cells, as well as their re-entry into the cell cycle and subsequent differentiation. The mesenchyme, which gives rise to different stromal cell niches has so far been understudied during development, homeostasis, injury/repair and disease development. Similarly, the effects on stem cells of the physical/mechanical properties of their local environment are just beginning to be explored.

Key Sessions

  • Stem cell niches in lung development
  • Stem cell niches in lung homeostasis and repair
  • Breaking niche regulation in lung cancer
  • Characterisation of epithelial and mesenchymal progenitor cell populations

Student Offer

Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Register an academic at the earlybird rate of €1,500 and bring a student for only €750. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible for this offer. Both registration packages include; accommodation for the 20, 21, 22 July 2019 (on a shared basis for students) and a food & beverage package for the conference period. Once registered, please contact Jack Peters to obtain a special registration link for your student.

Educational Need

The objective of this meeting is to bring together the scientific community interested in niche-epithelial stem/progenitor interaction during lung development, homeostasis and disease. It is proposed that developmental mechanisms are redeployed in the repair process and during disease progression.

The identification of the critical pathways and understanding their function will open the way to their manipulation to enhance the repair process. In particular we propose to bring the audience up to date on:
1) the characterization of the different stromal niches along the proximal-distal axis of the lung during development, homeostasis, injury/repair;

2) the characterization of in vitro assays to test/validate the quality of the stromal cell niches in supporting epithelial stem/progenitor cells (3D organoid-based models involving co-culture of stromal cell niches and epithelial/stem progenitor cells);

3) the identification of drugs affecting the niche-epithelial stem/progenitor cell interaction

Location

The Dolce CampoReal Lisboa is nestled between the vineyards and the extraordinary landscape of the Socorro and Archeira Mountains.

Lisbon is only a short 30-minute drive away. The Portuguese capital is constantly recognised as one of the greatest cities in the world, a claim confirmed by the “Lonely Planet Guides", who named Lisbon one of the world’s top 10 cities. Lisbon in one of the world’s oldest cities, predating the likes of London, Rome and Paris by hundreds of years. Hillsides covered in tumbledown houses and a mix of baroque and neoclassical buildings, including cathedrals and palaces, make up Lisbon’s skyline. The city is a combination of old and new, with beautiful modern buildings constructed near renovated historical landmarks and ruins.

Transportation

Dolce CampoReal Lisboa, Torres Vedras is approximately a 30-minute journey from Lisbon Portela Airport.

Taxis

Taxis are available outside the airport, but we would strongly recommend you pre-book your airport transfer with one of the many private transfer companies that are available. The Dolce CampoReal Lisboa is located outside of the city zone and a pre-booked transfer will be a cheaper option than a taxi taken from the airport taxi rank.

Uber also operate in and around Lisbon and there are other Portuguese taxi-hailing apps such as MyTaxi, TaxisLisboa and Coop Taxis, all offering reasonable rates.

Pre-booked Airport Transfers

Should you wish to pre-book a taxi transfer from the airport, you will find there are several suppliers to choose from, most offering an online booking service only. Prices range from €41 one way / €82 return trip. Please find details of a few that we are aware of below with website links:
