EMBO | EMBL Symposium - Mechanobiology across the tree of life

Date: June 9-12, 2026 | Venue: EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual

This symposium will bring together researchers from biology, physics, and engineering to explore how cells and tissues construct themselves and respond to their environments. Focusing on mechanobiology across biological systems, the meeting will highlight new technologies for studying cell walls, cytoskeletons, and membranes through advanced imaging and integrated molecular, computational, and biophysical approaches. With a strong emphasis on early-career researchers, the symposium aims to foster collaboration and develop a unified understanding of the physical and biochemical principles underlying cellular structure and dynamics.

EMBO | EMBL Symposium - The cellular mechanics of symbiosis: sensing friend from foe

Date: March 17-20, 2026 | Venue: EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual

This symposium will bring together researchers from cellular, molecular, ecological, physiological, and theoretical disciplines to explore the evolution and dynamics of host–microbe interactions. It will focus on the cellular systems, metabolic pathways, and ecological factors that drive transitions between pathogenic and beneficial symbioses. A central theme is understanding how hosts distinguish between friend and foe, maintain partner fidelity, and achieve stable symbiotic relationships, offering insights into the mechanisms underlying symbiotic complexity.
