We would like to welcome you to the First Conference of the South America Chapter of CSSI, which is to be held at the Sheraton Hotel in Montevideo, Uruguay (11-14 March 2014).

The South American Chapter was recently created due to the exponential increase of research in the field of Heat Shock Proteins and Cell Stress in Latin America. This First Conference of the South America Chapter of CSSI is thus an historical occasion, not to be missed!
