	Apoptotic Cell Recognition & Clearance
	At this Gordon Research Conference on Apoptotic Cell Recognition & Clearance and its associated Gordon Research Seminar, we will discuss the latest advances made in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of apoptotic cell recognition and clearance in all model organisms, from worm, fly, fish and mouse, to mammalian (including human) cells in the context of both healthy and disease states.

	The Chemistry and Biology of Cell Death
	Cell death can occur through distinct mechanisms, and the signaling pathways leading to these lethal outcomes are becoming established. Although therapeutic strategies targeting specific cell death mediators were introduced over 10 years ago, the breadth of cell death mechanisms should present numerous additional possibilities for drug development. To better understand the Achilles’ heels for targeted therapy we need to comprehend the chemistry behind cell death paradigms. We propose that coupling the breadth of chemical biology with genetic analysis of cell death pathways in model organisms will provide not only a comprehensive understanding, but reveal tractable targets. The 2014 Keystone Symposia meeting on The Chemistry and Biology of Cell Death will address the normal regulation and pathogenic dysfunction of distinct cell death modalities, present updates on clinical trials and new strategies for therapeutic intervention, and highlight chemical biology efforts that are leading to a better understanding of the role that cell death plays in health and disease.

	Mitochondrial Dynamics and Physiology
	This 2014 Keystone Symposia on Mitochondrial Physiology and Dynamics will highlight the benefit of interdisciplinay mitochondrial research for gathering innovative knowledge in biology. It will promote new opportunities for cross-border disciplines interactions and advance fundamental research by creating new bridges. Besides, we placed a strong emphasis in cell biology with a session dedicated to the role of mitochondria in cell signaling. Concerning mitochondrial medicine and pathophysiology, this Keystone Symposia is focused on age-related diseases and psychiatric disorders as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and schzysophrenia, respectively. The importance of next-generation sequencing in the discovery of mitochondrial genetic alterations in rare disorders will also be covered as well as disease tissue-specificity. On the last day of the meeting, the scientific program moves forward to regenerative medicine with a timely session dedicated to the emerging role of mitochondrial physiology and dynamics in stem cells biology and development. To explore the potential of mitochondria in human therapy and drug discovery we organized a workshop on the emerging « bioenergetic therapies » and associated new screening technologies which will combine industrial and academic research.

	Mitochondria, Apoptosis and Cancer 2013 (MAC'13)
	Considering the key role of mitochondria in energy metabolism and in regulation of cell death, it appears that resistance of most tumors towards treatment can be, at least in part, explained by mitochondrial silencing in cancer cells. The goal of the EMBO Workshop is to bring together world leaders in several areas of biology and medicine, focusing on mitochondria that recently became an intriguing target for cancer therapy.
