Pyroptosis, Gasdermins and the Thinking Behind the Symposium

During the SMART Symposium on Pyroptosis and Gasdermin Biology in Shenzhen, we sat down with Professor Hao Wu, a member of the scientific organizing committee, to explore the science and ideas behind the meeting. Professor Wu explains pyroptosis and the role of gasdermins, discusses why the symposium brought together researchers from basic and translational science, and shares what is needed to turn discoveries in the field into potential treatments. She also reflects on SMART and Shenzhen as a growing center for international scientific exchange. This interview is part of SMART Symposia: Setting the Agenda, a series exploring how scientific meetings take shape, and the questions moving each field forward. #Pyroptosis #Gasdermin #SMARTSymposia
