Upcoming FEBS Open Bio Webinar: Cellular Senescence: A Roundtable Discussion

Register now for our upcoming free FEBS Open Bio webinar, which will be held on Zoom on 18th June 2026 at 16:00 CET (15:00 GMT). Dr. Dimitris Kletsas and panellists will explore exciting findings in the topic of cellular senescence research.

To accompany our recent special issue on Cellular Senescence, FEBS Open Bio is holding a free webinar entitled “Cellular Senescence: A Roundtable Discussion” on 18th June at 16:00 CET (15:00 GMT) for 45 minutes. Dr. Dimitris Kletsas (NCSR "Demokritos", Greece) and contributing authors will explore key advances in cellular senescence research, including accurate detection in vivo, changes in intercompartmental communication, and the role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence.

The panel will provide insights into how senescent cells influence tissue homeostasis and disease progression, as well touching on emerging technologies that target senescence as a therapeutic opportunity for ageing and age-associated diseases.

Panellists will include:

  • Konstantinos Evangelou (Molecular Carcinogenesis Group, Department of Histology and Embryology, Medical School, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece)
  • Nektarios Tavernarakis (FORTH: Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas - IMBB: Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Heraklion, Greece)
  • Dimitris Kletsas (NCSR "Demokritos", Athens, Greece)
  • Orestis Ntintas (Molecular Carcinogenesis Group, Department of Histology and Embryology, Medical School, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece)

We invite you to attend what promises to be a fascinating webinar. Questions can be asked during the webinar, and we also invite attendees to send questions to the speakers in advance by emailing us at openbio@febs.org
