SFRR-Europe President. Welcome letter. January 2025

giuseppe_valacchiIt is with great pride and high responsibility, that I take the role of President of the SFRR-E for the biannual term 2025-2027; and I thank all the SFRR-E members for the trust and the support.

It will not be an easy task considering the fantastic accomplishments of the previous Presidents, but I will try to continue and echo the success that SFRR-E has had in the last few years. This will be possible thanks to the help of the precious friends and collaborators who are current members of SFRR-E Executive, the Council and ECR subcommittee. 

We have a very exciting year ahead with the forthcoming Bi-Annual SFRR-I Meeting hosted by SFRR-E in the gorgeous venue of Galway, Ireland from the 3rd to the 6th of June 2025, organized by Prof. Katarzyna Goljanek-Whysall. This conference is a joint effort among all the SFRR societies; a special thanks to Prof. Giovanni Mann, former SFRR-I President, who is playing the key role in the international organization of the conference. Galway will be the perfect opportunity to address new scientific challenges, with updates on state-of-the-art research in the field of redox biology with colleagues from all over the globe. The next 2026 Annual Meeting will be held in another exciting place, Mainz, Germany, and will be organized by Prof. Andreas Daiber with the support of Prof. Tilman Grune.

In addition, on behalf of all the SFRR-E members, I would like to thank the Oxygen Club of California (OCC) represented by Prof. Enrique Cadenas, for the continued and strong support.

I would like to just spend few words in thanking our Past-President, Prof. Juan Sastre, who has performed an excellent task as SFRR-E President, not only to overcome the delicate issues related to the Istanbul meeting but also for his continued dedication to the SFRR-E, supporting young researchers and the organization of international conferences around the world, confirming that our society does not have any boundaries as to how science should be. 

I am very lucky to serve my term together with Prof. Clare Hawkins, who is an impeccable General Secretary for the SFRR-E. 

My main focus will be to always promote young researchers in their pursuit of excellence in science and to welcome new scientists to our society. Redox biology is a translational field, that includes cell biology, molecular biology, animal and plant biology, as such we will try to expand it to topics that are less conventional but still related to our interest. This will start already at the Galway conference, where there will be many high-quality symposia representing new aspects of redox biology. 

In this regard, the ECR subcommittee, actively led by Paraskevi Kritsiligkou and Vanesa Cepas Lopez, constitutes a perfect forum to stimulate the scientific training and knowledge sharing among young researchers and senior mentors.

I would like to highlight the substantial sponsorship that our Society receives from Elsevier and from other sponsors. These sponsorships underpin our activities and promote the success of our Annual Meetings.

I am sure that together we will grow further in achieving wonderful scientific merits.
