CoA and CoA-derivatives: From biochemistry and molecular biology to human diseases across lifespan

Aug. 16–18, 2023
Discovery Building, University of Wisconsin–Madison

Investigators engaged in the breadth of CoA research are seldom gathered at a single conference, creating a delay in exchanging ideas that cross boundaries between sub-areas of research. This conference will provide a forum where academic and industrial investigators from heterogeneous fields can exchange ideas and challenge the framework of our current understanding of the role of CoA and its derivatives in all aspects of health, disease and bioscience.

Particular emphasis will be placed on recent breakthroughs in understanding biochemical aspects of CoA and Acetyl-CoA metabolism related to intracellular cross-talk, proteostasis and autophagy, as well as technological advances in mass spectrometry that allow fine assessment of specific metabolites and protein modifications.
