Conference Collaborations

EMBL Conference-The new cardiobiology: engineering, vascular, and molecular insights
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death, with many disease-driving mechanisms still unclear. Building on the successful 2024 inaugural meeting, this conference will gather experts in cardiac and vascular biology, tissue engineering, and systems biology to explore emerging insights into molecular pathways, gene–environment interactions, and multi-organ influences. By fostering interdisciplinary exchange, it aims to accelerate breakthroughs in understanding and treating cardiovascular disease.
EMBO Workshop-Brain (epi)genome
The brain’s remarkable cellular diversity — encompassing hundreds of distinct neuronal and glial cell types — emerges from a single genome through sophisticated regulatory mechanisms.
This EMBO Workshop unites experts in genomics, neuroscience, and epigenetics to explore how gene regulation and chromatin architecture generate neural diversity and shape brain function. Leveraging advances in single-cell, spatial, and 3D genomics, it will address mechanisms underlying neuronal identity, connectivity, plasticity, and disease.
By integrating insights from human and model systems, the meeting aims to accelerate discovery and strengthen the neurogenomics community.
EMBO | EMBL Symposium-Sex differences in health and disease
This symposium examines how genetics, hormones, and environment drive sex differences in physiology, immunity, ageing, and disease. It will highlight mechanisms underlying distinct phenotypes and variable susceptibility or treatment responses in metabolic, infectious, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurological conditions. Bringing together multidisciplinary experts and advanced model systems, the meeting aims to advance understanding of sex-based biology to improve health outcomes.
