Can cells effectively remove toxic protein aggregates, or do they activate alternative pathways when normal clearance mechanisms fail?
Understanding this balance is crucial for unraveling the molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases and developing new therapeutic strategies.
We are delighted to welcome Dr. Maurizio Renna, Professor of Cellular and Applied Biology in the Department of Molecular Medicine and Medical Biotechnology at the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (UniNa) / University of Naples Federico II, Italy, as a speaker at the International Conference on Cell Biology (C-BIO 2026).
Valencia, Spain | December 2–4, 2026

This presentation will explore the intricate relationship between protein aggregation, macroautophagy, and unconventional protein secretion in the context of neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Renna will discuss how these interconnected cellular pathways regulate protein quality control, influence neuronal survival, and contribute to disease progression, offering new perspectives for therapeutic intervention.
Prof. Renna is a leading researcher in cellular and molecular biology with expertise in autophagy, lysosomal biology, protein homeostasis, and neurodegeneration. His work has advanced our understanding of the cellular mechanisms responsible for maintaining proteostasis and how their disruption contributes to neurological disease.
Maurizio’s research focuses on the molecular regulation of autophagy, lysosomal function, protein aggregation, and unconventional secretion. His laboratory investigates how these pathways interact to maintain cellular homeostasis and how targeting them may provide new therapeutic opportunities for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease.
Join us at C-BIO 2026 to discover how advances in autophagy and protein quality control are shaping the future of neurodegenerative disease research.
