The 7^th International Meeting on Yeast Apoptosis will bring together investigators from around the world to present and discuss research employing yeasts as model organisms to study apoptosis and its role in stress responses, aging and development.

This meeting will extend the tradition of six highly successful meetings devoted to this topic held in Austria, Slovakia, Portugal, United States, Czech Republic and Belgium during the past 7 years. The Meeting will begin on the evening of Wednesday, September 9^th and conclude late in the morning on the Sunday 13^th.

These sessions will cover a variety of topics, including:

• Systems Biology of apoptosis
• Mitochondrial apoptotic pathways
• Caspase-dependent and independent apoptosis
• Age-induced programmed cell death´
• Alternative cell death forms (e.g. necrosis, autophagic death)
• Yeast as a model for neurodegeneration
• Targeting apoptosis in unicellular parasites and pathogenic fungi
• Yeast as a model for lipotoxic cell death

Opportunities will be available for oral and poster presentations.
