We are pleased to announce the the Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on Iron, Reactive Oxygen Species & Ferroptosis in Life, Death & Disease which will be held in Awaji, JAPAN, close to Kobe. 

Please note that entry of foreign nationals into Japan is subject to the latest border measures. You are required to read and follow the official information about entry into Japan on the website of Ministry of Foreign carefully and strictly.

The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Monday October 10, and will conclude after lunch on October 14, 2022. The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session covering the latest findings across many topics in iron, ROS & ferroptosis biology. Many talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions.
