CFATG for Autophagy outreach:
Autophagy, which literally means « self-eating », is involved in the removal and recycling of cellular waste. Malfunction of autophagy has been linked to a wide range of human diseases, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Crohn’s diseases, cancers, myopathies, cardiovascular disorders, as well as autoimmune and infectious diseases.
CFATG has at heart to promote, to strengthen and to share the knowledge in the field of Autophagy.

Testimonies :
Coralie Daussy (CPBS, Montpellier) : “I would like to warmly thank the French club of Autophagy (CFATG) for awarding me a travel grant in order to attend the ”Gordon Research Seminar and Conference” on “Autophagy in stress, development and diseases”. This congress took place on March 2016, in Ventura, USA. I had the opportunity to present my work during a short talk and several poster sessions. It was a significant event for me and it has been truly inspiring”.
Fengjuan Wang (IBMC, Strasbourg) : “I was very honored to obtain a travel grant from CFATG which allowed me to attend and present in the 2016 Gordon Research Conference&Seminar on “Autophagy in Stress, Development and Disease” (California, United States), a great opportunity to interact with the world-leading autophagy experts, absorb the most updated knowledge in this field, and discover California. Last but not least, through CFATG events, I have established both professional contacts and friendship, from which I greatly benefit”.
Aurora Scrivo (Institute for Neurosciences, Montpellier): “I would like to greatly thank the CFATG to allow me to participate, thanks to the travel grant, to the “7th Proteasome & Autophagy workshop”, that took place in Clermont Ferrand (France) from 6 to 8 April 2016. It was for me a very exciting possibility to meet with several international experts, giving me the opportunity to establish solid contacts for my future post-doc.”
