Welcome to the RKIP and YY1 Symposium 2023 in Catania, Sicily (Italy) 

Dear Colleagues, 

It is our great pleasure to invite you to join the 1st Joint International Symposium on “Prognostic and Therapeutic implications of RKIP and YY1 in Cancer, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Diseases” which will be held in Italy in the beautiful city of Catania, Sicily, March 8-11, 2023

Cancer, heart disease and diabetes are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, while recent reports are underlying common molecular cascades involved in their pathogeneses. In this context, the symposium is focused on the recent advances reported on two pivotal gene products, namely, Raf-1 kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) and Yin Yang 1(YY1) whose levels of expression contribute in the pathogenesis of cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Thus, both RKIP and YY1 are potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of these various diseases. 

Following the tradition of previous meetings, a great deal of thought went into formulating a stimulating scientific program prepared for you by our Scientific Committee, offering the opportunity to meet with colleagues and experience the wonderful hospitality and scenery of Catania, Sicily (Italy). 

Sincerely, 

Massimo Libra, University of Catania, Italy; email: mlibra@unict.it (local organizer);
