Ten Spanish groups from six different Autonomous Communities with internationally recognized scientific excellence on relevant aspects related with basic and applied research on oxidative and nitrosative stress joined their efforts in 2007, to establish the first national platform in this area. This consortium made significant progress on several related aspects including redox-mediated postranslational modifications, development of new models for the study of oxidative stress, establishment of novel concepts regarding the organization of the mitochondrial transport chain and the regulation of bioenergetics metabolism in different systems.
These groups have joined again in order to consolidate the former as well as to promote a series of actions related to training in this specific area, dissemination of knowledge in redox biology and establishment of programmes that foster long lasting interactions among the components of the next generation of scientists.
