Event details to be confirmed, pending EMBO funding application.
The environment drives the diversity and evolution of life, influencing genetic variation and molecular mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity. However, the significance of studying molecular impacts of environmental changes is often overlooked. The emergence of molecular toxicology for chemical risk assessment and environmental protection highlights the genetic foundations of adaptation, including environmentally responsive elements, gene-regulatory networks, and metabolic pathways, crucial for understanding biological processes across species and developmental stages. With anthropogenic factors increasingly affecting both environmental and human health, comprehending species’ molecular responses to stress becomes imperative. This conference promotes exposure perturbation studies as a dual-purpose tool for revealing basic biological functions and advancing human and environmental health. It aims to foster collaboration among experts in evolutionary biology, environmental science, (epi)genomics, toxicology, and exposomics to deepen our understanding of the molecular basis of emergent phenotypes and advocate a systems and molecular approach to studying environmental exposures.

EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials. One current scam campaign of which we are aware is conducted using the name ‘Judy Eastman’ (judy@gopcontact.a2hosted.com) and entails approaches to sponsors offering sponsorship opportunities on EMBL’s behalf. Please be kindly advised that all relevant communication regarding sponsorship of EMBL conferences, symposia and courses is handled by EMBL directly and is sent from an official EMBL account. EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.
Please also note that:
Suspicious communications purportedly from, for or on behalf of EMBL should be reported to EMBL at the following email address sponsorship@embl.de.
