The fundamental question of the role of metabolism in development has seen a revival in interest. This is fueled by recent work, shedding new light onto previously unrecognised roles of metabolism. This work revealed the intricate relationship between energy flux, spatial and temporal control of metabolites, the environment and embryogenesis. This emerging view is stimulating research designed to answer fundamental questions including: How does the cellular machinery process information linked to the flow of energy and matter? How does metabolic activity impact and constrain the emergence of form and function? What are the physicochemical properties of developing systems?
Answering these questions requires interdisciplinary approaches, including researchers from disparate fields such as developmental biology, genetics, epigenetics, ecology, physics, and math. Currently, researchers engaged in the field lack a common platform. The workshop ‘Developmental metabolism: flows of energy, matter, and information’ will create an intellectual space to exchange ideas across disciplines and help form a vibrant, diverse community at the interphase between developmental biology, molecular metabolism, mathematics, and physics.

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.
