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.
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…
In July, the EMBO | EMBL Symposium ‘Theory and concepts in biology’ took place for the first time ever, bringing together an interdisciplinary community and providing a platform to discuss perspectives on the role of theory in biology, and importantly also vice versa, the impact that…
Written by event reporter Patricia Bondia The VIZBI congress is a one-of-a-kind event that highlights the power of visualisation in comprehending complex scientific data. Experts from a wide range of disciplines — from genomics to ecosystems and art — come together to share their latest…
At the beginning of March, the ‘The cellular mechanics of symbiosis’ took place, the first EMBO | EMBL Symposium of its kind. 111 on-site participants and 51 virtual participants joined scientific organisers Toby Kiers, John McCutcheon, and Thomas Richards for talks on how symbionts are…
