Welcome message

Dear Colleagues,

The 2025 22nd SFRR-I Biennial meeting hosted by SFRR-E will be held from June 3-6, 2025 in Galway, Ireland, at the University of Galway campus, positioned on the edge of Europe, poised on the Atlantic seaboard. Established in 1845, University of Galway has a distinguished reputation for research excellence.

Our vibrant, creative city provides a distinctive platform for stimulating scientific discussions. This meeting will showcase exciting new developments at the frontiers of redox biology and free radical research that cross the boundaries of the life sciences, medicine and industry. International experts and conference attendees will find an modern venue in a unique destination, with unparalleled hospitality and scenic beauty. In addition to peer reviewed symposia and competitive selective oral sessions, we are excited to share special sessions dedicated to young researchers and early bird activities.

I extend a warm invitation to you, your accompanying guests and sponsors from across the world to the Society for Free Radical Research International Biennial Conference in Galway 2025.

In the words of the Irish language, “Céad míle fáilte romhaibh” or “one hundred thousand welcomes” to all involved in this prestigious event.

Dr. Kasia Goljanek-Whysall,

on behalf of the local Organising Committee
