EMBL Symposium - The ageing genome: from mechanisms to disease

Time and Venue: Jun 10 - 13, 2025 | EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual
About: Ageing is often considered a complex phenotype that affects multiple organs and tissues in a time-dependent manner. This may result in the aged population consuming a myriad of medications, each aimed to treat, but not cure, the affected tissue. Recent studies have demonstrated that the “Primary Hallmarks of Ageing” are a set of five molecular mechanisms that malfunction, independent of tissue type, and drive ageing. Hence, focusing on these five hallmarks simplifies the efforts to understand ageing-associated disease. This symposium will bring together many diverse fields across topics including the below, and tie them together with the field of ageing biology and its relevant models of ageing.
Topics
• Endogenous and metabolic genotoxins
• Aneuploidy
• Loss of proteostasis
• Telomere dysfunction
• Age-related disease
• Model systems for ageing research
• Senescence responses
• Chromatin stability and epigenetics
• Mitochondrial stability as a function of ageing
• DNA repair during the ageing process

EMBL Conference - Chromatin and epigenetics

Time and Venue: 13 - 16 May 2025 | EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual
About:

Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence. At least three systems, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), are considered to play fundamental roles in epigenetic regulation.

Research over the last two decades has uncovered the role of epigenetics in a variety of human disorders and fatal diseases. Moreover, the influence of age, environment, lifestyle, and disease state on epigenetic states is being increasingly appreciated and actively studied.

This conference provides an international forum for cutting-edge research in chromatin and epigenetics. It provides the ‘focal hub’ for scientists to present their research and exchange ideas. Renowned speakers will cover the latest advances in the field.

Session topics
Heterochromatin
Developmental epigenetics
Chromatin regulation and disease
Nucleosome structure and function
Transcription and chromatin
Nuclear architecture
Chromatin and RNA modifications
Single-cell genomics and advanced microscopy
Impact of age, environment, and lifestyle on epigenetic state

EMBL Symposium - Mechanisms of drug resistance and tolerance in bacteria, fungi, and cancer

Time and Venue: March 18 - 21, 2025| EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual
About: Resistance to antimicrobial drugs is a rapidly increasing global health problem. Similarly, drug-resistant or tolerant cancer cells significantly undermine chemotherapy outcomes. The underlying biological mechanisms of tolerance, resistance, and persistence are increasingly being studied, revealing a complex interplay between cellular evolution, biochemistry, and metabolism. Understanding these mechanisms offers the long-term potential to develop new therapeutic strategies less prone to drug resistance and, in the short term, deepens our understanding of clonal evolution and single-cell biology. This symposium aims to bring together researchers to discuss the latest findings on the biological mechanisms mediating drug resistance and tolerance in pathogens, cancer cells, and other species.Session topics
  • Molecular targets and mechanisms of tolerance and resistance
  • Resistance and tolerance mechanisms of microbiomes and commensals
  • Resistance and tolerance mechanisms, single-cell biology, persistence & clonal evolution
  • Resistance and tolerance mechanisms: the role of efflux and drug transport
  • Molecular genetics of resistance and tolerance mechanisms
  • The role of macro- and microenvironment on resistance & tolerance mechanisms

EACR-Boehringer Ingelheim Conference: Drugging and Regulating the MAP Kinase Pathway

Time and Venue: February 11 - 12, 2025| Virtual meeting, worldwide access
About: Organized by the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR) with Boehringer Ingelheim. We return to this topic for its second edition to focus on the basic and clinical aspects of the regulation of the Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway, one of the most commonly mutated signalling pathways in human cancers. The programme will include new insights about the mechanisms of action of the new generation of pan-RAS inhibitors and rational combination therapies. Whether you work in academia or industry, if you’re interested in the role of the MAPK pathway in the context of genetically targeted and immune-based anticancer therapies then this is not a meeting you should miss! It will also focus on the mechanistic aspects of gene regulation, target validation, and drug development, as well as emerging translational and clinical opportunities of small molecule inhibitors.
