Autophagy dysregulation has been linked to a wide range of diseases, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic disorders, and infections. However, further research is needed to fully understand the precise roles and mechanisms of autophagy in different disease contexts and its therapeutic potential. This meeting aims to address gaps in knowledge regarding the regulation, mechanisms, and therapeutic potential of selective autophagy in disease contexts. A further understanding of selective autophagy is critical for developing targeted therapeutic interventions and understanding disease mechanisms, as selective autophagy allows cells to specifically target and remove damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, and intracellular pathogens. This meeting will showcase ongoing basic research advances in the field, but also focus on translational research and industry developments in the area, which is unique among conferences around this topic. Additionally, this meeting will be held jointly with, “Membrane Dynamics, Repair and Disease,” which will provide excellent opportunities for engaging joint sessions of shared interest. One workshop will highlight tools and strategies to study and target autophagy, and may also include lessons learned from clinical trials.
