15th Anniversary of the CSSI
First Conference of the
South American Chapter,
Cell Stress Society International
Chair: Dr. Maria Bausero
Cell Stress and
Heat Shock Proteins
A Brief History of the
Cell Stress Society International
On its Fifteen Anniversary
By
Founding President Larry Hightower
--------------------------
First of 3 key events: An international workshop tradition beginsIn the fall of 1997, Subhash Lakhotia hosted a workshop entitled “Molecular Biology of Stress
Responses” in India. This set the pattern for future CSSI international workshops: About 100
participants, 70% from the host developing country and neighboring countries, emphasis on
quality science, student participation, and culture.
Wolfgang Schumann and Subhash.
Wolfgang tells the story of the idea of
a workshop at www.cellstress.uconn.edu.
Pramod Srivastava and Takashi Yura
Second Event: An international congress in Budapest, 1997
The Budapest Congress attracted over 700 colleagues from over 62 countries. With an
attendance more than twice the 1996 Cold Spring Harbor meeting, a very popular venue that
had filled beyond capacity, this congress demonstrated that there was great interest and enthusiasm
from the global scientific community to support and attend international meetings in our field.

Peter Csermely, Chairman
2nd CSAC Editorial Board
Meeting: Drs Hickey, Yura,
Brown and Morimoto (L to R)
Announcement of New Journal: September 21, 1995 Nature
Third and Catalyzing Event: Another publisher buys CL. Decision
was made to terminate CSAC at the end of 1999.
Session speakers: N. Pfanner,
K.-D. Scharf, R. Morimoto, L. Hightower,
E. Muckel and L. Nover (Session Chair).
2013 was the 18th year of
Cell Stress & Chaperones
Bound volumes of a journal are rarely seen today.
It is a good way to show the growth of our journal over
its 18 year existence. Dramatic increases in the number of
published papers began in 2008, the start of the Springer Era.
In that year Cell Stress & Chaperones became published by
Springer and is part of the world-wide distribution system for
Springer electronic and print journals.
The first public display of CSAC was during
The German Society for Cell Biology meeting,
Hamburg, 1996.

Full Text Downloads per year 2008-2012
The chart above shows the dramatic increase in citations,
a change that will translate into higher Impact Factors for our journal
over the next few years. The chart on the right is likely the most predictive
of the future growth and development of our journal,
the annual increases in full text downloads of articles
published in Cell Stress & Chaperones.
