BenBedPhar Training School 2025

NRF2 network: Molecules, pathways, and therapeutic strategies in chronic disease.

Invitation

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Training School “The NRF2 Network: Molecules, Pathways, and Therapeutic Strategies in Chronic Disease,” which will be held from 26 to 30 May 2025, in the historic city of Ohrid, North Macedonia.
This event is organized in the frame of BenBedPhar COST Action, by local support of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje and Faculty of Medical Sciences, Goce Delcev University, Stip.
This Training school will offer participants a comprehensive exploration of the NRF2 signaling pathway, focusing on its molecular mechanisms and its pivotal role in oxidative stress, metabolic disorders, and chronic diseases. The program features expert-led lectures, bioinformatic workshop and interactive sessions, providing an opportunity to present your research and results, fostering scientific exchange and collaboration.
We are welcoming young researchers (master students, PhD students and early postdocs under 40 years old) participating in our Action to submit an abstract and join the Training School which has a capacity for 21 trainees. BenBedPhar will cover the cost of travel and daily allowance for the selected trainees based on the quality of the submitted abstract and gender and geographical balance.
