Our mission is to train scientists. This blog is a platform for us to share updates on our annual programme, tips and tricks for scientists, new e-learning opportunities, and sometimes just something to make you smile.
For many attendees of the EMBO | EMBL Symposium ‘Cellular mechanisms driven by phase separation’, it was the first in-person event after a long while. The excitement was tangible all around the Advanced Training Centre, but especially along the helices where the posters were being…
Almost 40 posters were presented at the virtual EMBO | EMBL Symposium ‘Inter-organ communication in physiology and disease’, showcasing how studies in model organisms are revealing novel inter-organ signals that contribute to whole-organism homeostasis. There were two live poster sessions and…
A buzzing helix at The Advanced Training Centre. Scientists holding a beer or a soft drink, pointing at the poster, discussing, laughing. It might have been a bit awkward initially, but soon enough it felt like the old days. And not only was it fun to be around peers again, but the organisers were…
Over 60 posters were presented at the virtual EMBO Workshop ‘Recent advances in structural biology of membrane proteins’, highlighting the importance of lipids in MP research and how they can be preserved. There were two live poster sessions and the presenters could also be contacted via chat,…
Over 65 posters were presented at the virtual EMBL Conference ‘Cancer genomics’, covering cancer genome projects, cancer functional genomics, systems biology, cancer immunogenomics and epigenomics, cancer mouse models and the translation and clinical impact of obtained scientific…
This year, the virtual EMBO Workshop: “the Mobile Genome: Genetic and Physiological Impacts of Transposable Elements” centered around the broad impacts of TEs on organismal biology. It turned out to be a diverse meeting with interesting cross-disciplinary discussions,…
From its beginning in 2011, Seeing is Believing has embraced novel imaging technologies that open new windows for biological discovery, including single-molecule and super-resolution, light sheet and correlative light electron microscopy. This year, the EMBO| EMBL Symposium was held virtually for…
The EMBO|EMBL Symposium: Multiomics to Mechanisms: Challenges in Data Integration took place virtually 15 – 17 September 2021. With over 400 participants, this was the biggest multi-omics conference since it began in 2017. We had 96 posters presented virtually, and are excited to share…
The popular symposium “New Approaches and Concepts in Microbiology” took place virtually this year. 598 people from across the globe joined from their own time zone. Two presenters impressed the crowd with their short talks, even though the local time for one of them was 4.50 am (that…
This year, the BioMalPar conference took place for the 17th time, but the second time virtually. Three poster presenters stunned their peers with their visually attractive digital posters, presentations and research insights. Out of 90 posters, they received the best poster award by popular…
