Preamble

Oxidative stress has emerged as a central issue in understanding major human diseases. It results from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the body’s antioxidant defense systems. This imbalance plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of numerous chronic conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes. As such, it represents a major focus of contemporary biomedical research.

In a global context characterized by profound transformations: climate change, increasing environmental pollution, nutritional transitions, and rising life expectancy, the factors contributing to redox imbalance are multiplying. This growing complexity calls for comprehensive and integrative approaches to better understand the interactions between environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and underlying biological mechanisms involved in oxidative stress.

Recent advances in epigenetics have highlighted the key role of environmental factors in modulating gene expression through oxidative stress-related pathways. At the same time, modern biotechnologies provide powerful tools for the detection, quantification, and targeting of oxidative biomarkers. Furthermore, the emergence of artificial intelligence offers new opportunities for analyzing complex datasets derived from biological, clinical, and environmental sources, paving the way toward predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine.

In this context, the seminar aims to bring together researchers, academics, pharmacists, and experts from diverse fields (biology, medicine, environmental sciences, and biotechnology).

The objective is to deepen the understanding of oxidative stress in its systemic dimension, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and explore innovative strategies for preventing and managing its impact on human health.
