Overview
This EMBL Conference, co-organised with the European Society for Spatial Biology (ESSB), builds on the momentum of the Society’s inaugural meeting in Berlin in December 2024.
Spatial biology extends beyond analyzing the molecular composition of individual cells—it considers their spatial arrangement and interactions within complex tissues and organisms. This dynamic, interdisciplinary field integrates insights from medicine, biology, physics, computer science, and other disciplines to deepen our understanding of biological systems in health and disease.
The meeting aims to bring together the rapidly growing academic community, fostering discussions on cutting-edge spatial technologies, innovative data analysis approaches, and their applications in both fundamental and translational research.
Renowned speakers will present the latest advances in the field, while young investigators will have ample opportunities for networking and scientific exchange.

Warning
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:
- EMBL never provides attendee lists for purchase. Any offers of such are fraudulent.
- EMBL will never call or email you to ask for your credit card details or to request a payment.
- All payments are on invoice.
Suspicious communications purportedly from, for or on behalf of EMBL should be reported to EMBL at the following email address sponsorship@embl.de.
