Welcome to the 17th “International Symposium on Calcium-Binding Proteins and Calcium Function in Health and Disease” (CaBP17). This series of symposia was founded in 1973 with the leadership of Drs. Ernesto Carafoli, Witold Drabikowski, and Claude Klee, and has been held every 2~3 years in different locations all over the world. Unlike other calcium meetings, the CaBP meeting always has a strong emphasis on molecular and structural biology and biochemical aspects of calcium signaling, although a wide variety of speakers from cell biology and medical science are included as well.
An international organizing committee composed of experts in Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+ binding proteins provides guidance to the organization and scientific themes of the symposium. The CaBP meeting in Beijing will cover three major themes, Ca2+ homeostasis, Ca2+ functions, and Ca2+ signaling and disease. This promises to be a very exciting meeting with excellent opportunities to interact with well-known investigators in diverse areas of calcium signaling.
