The conference is sponsored by:
European Molecular Biology Organization
EMBO stands for excellence in the life sciences.
EMBO is an organization of more than 1700 leading researchers that promotes excellence in the life sciences. The major goals of the organization are to support talented researchers at all stages of their careers, stimulate the exchange of scientific information, and help build a European research environment where scientists can achieve their best work.
EMBO helps young scientists to advance their research, promote their international reputations and ensure their mobility. Courses, workshops, conferences and EMBO Press publications disseminate the latest research and offer training in techniques to maintain high standards of excellence in research practice. EMBO helps to shape science policy by seeking input and feedback from our community and by following closely the trends in science in Europe.
EMBO supports talented researchers, selected through impartial evaluation processes, to allow them to do great science. The wide scientific scope across the full range of life science research coupled with the broad geographical reach of more than 1700 members and associate members – some of the best researchers in Europe and around the world – positions EMBO optimally to serve Europe’s life science community.

OCC (Oxygen Club of California)
OCC is a scientific organization dedicated to enhancing interactions and providing meetings and discussion forums worldwide to those interested in free radicals in biological systems, oxidants and antioxidants in biology and medicine, micronutrients, nutrition and health.
IMCO Corporation
IMCO - The Expert in Thioredoxin and Glutaredoxin Systems
IMCO is a company doing biochemical research developing novel reagents to study cellular redox systems and oxidative stress. IMCO is also a vendor of products needed in research on redox biology such as thioredoxins, thioredoxin reductases, glutathione and glutaredoxins. IMCO was the first (1984) commercial source of thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase used world-wide. IMCO has new kits for ultrasensitive microplate enzymatic assays of thioredoxins, thioredoxin reductases and glutaredoxins.
IMCO was founded in 1972 by Drs Birger and Margareta Blombäck and Per Olsson at the Karolinska Institutet as a company providing reagents for coagulation research (IMCO stands for IMmunology and COagulation). Discoveries about the effects of thioredoxin catalyzed disulfide reduction on the activity of fibrinogen and coagulation factors by Dr Arne Holmgren and Drs Birger and Margareta Blombäck paved the way for inclusion of thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase in IMCO´s product list.
Beckman Coulter GmbH
Beckman Coulter is a leading global manufacturer of measuring instruments and assay tests in the field of clinical diagnostics and life science. The company supports laboratories, physicians and patients with a broad portfolio of products.
