Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to the International Symposium on Mitochondria, Cell Death and Human Diseases: Frontiers in Cancer Research at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India

CRCA organizes conferences, symposiums, and workshops to enhance the exchange of knowledge and foster collaboration among researchers, healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders in the field. This conference is part of CRCA's ongoing efforts to promote innovation and excellence in cancer research and care.

This symposium will bring together leading international and Indian experts and researchers to discuss the latest advancements in the field of mitochondria, cell death, and human diseases with a special focus on their roles in cancer research. It is a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge science, network with fellow scientists, and contribute to meaningful discussions that can drive future research and therapeutic strategies.

We are honored to have an outstanding lineup of speakers who will present their work on various aspects of cell death modalities and mitochondrial biology, and their implications in cancer biology. The symposium will also provide opportunities for oral and poster presentations, allowing participants to showcase their research findings.

We look forward to your participation and contributions to what promises to be an exciting and impactful event.
