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.
This symposium, initiated in 2010, takes place every second year. Ever since, it brings together early-career and established researchers from all over the world who are interested in microtubule biology and its impact on human health and disease. Last month, we had the pleasure to host another…
Last month, we had the pleasure of welcoming onsite and virtual participants to the EMBO | EMBL Symposium ‘Cellular mechanisms driven by phase separation.’ The event brought together scientists from cell biology, biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology,…
Last April, our EMBO | EMBL Symposium ‘The mechanics of life: from development to disease’ took place in Heidelberg, Germany and virtually. We were happy to welcome 173 attendees to the Advance Training Centre in Heidelberg, Germany, and 57 virtual participants. This event gathered top experts…
Just a few weeks ago we held another edition of this successful series. Scientists from multiple disciplines came together in order to discuss common themes linked to oscillations, rythms and synchronization in a broad range of contexts. The organisers of the symposium wanted to bridge the gap…
The current therapeutic approaches to cardiovascular dysfunction are either organ-centric or tackle the consequences of end-stage cardiovascular disease (CVD). This new EMBO Workshop around cardiobiology aimed to transform the established organ-centric view on single cardiovascular organs into a…
The first conference of the year brought together cryo-EM academic communities and industry partners to evaluate how the use of cryo-EM has developed over the last decade. The researchers provided updates on recent and ongoing methodological developments and focused on the integration of cryo-ET…
At the beginning of December 2023, the EMBO Workshop ‘Computational structural biology’ brought together scientists to discuss the manifold trials to apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as deep learning, to solve great challenges in the field of structural biology…
A few weeks ago, the EMBL Conference ‘Cancer genomics’ brought scientists from diverse disciplines connected to cancer research, creating a unique opportunity for interaction and fostering greater integration of these collaborative efforts. The event was nothing short of amazing, with…
In early November (yes, it’s December already! ❄️), the EMBO Workshop ‘The mobile genome: genetic and physiological impacts of transposable elements’ took place in Heidelberg and virtually. It was a great workshop with lots of lively discussions, two amazing keynote speakers,…
This year, a new and very special community formed at the EMBO Workshop ‘Developmental metabolism: flows of energy, matter, and information.’ Scientists from different disciplines including developmental biology, molecular metabolism, mathematics, and physics got the chance to exchange…
