Mechanisms that shape cellular proteomes are critical for life. This conference focuses on the process of protein synthesis, from the molecular and structural understanding of the translational machinery to its regulation, its implications in cell and organismal biology, and its alteration in disease. The regulation of mRNA translation is critical to maintaining cell homeostasis and mediates cellular responses to environmental, physiological, and pathological cues. Given the central importance of protein synthesis, it is unsurprising that dysregulation or defects in mRNA translation are widely linked to disease, including cancer, neurological or metabolic disorders, and viral infection. In recent years, technical advances have challenged hitherto established dogmas, uncovered new quality control mechanisms, expanded the breadth of translation regulators, enhanced our understanding of the dynamics of translation in living cells, and revealed unexpected interconnections with other cellular processes such as metabolism. Advances in these aspects of mRNA translation will be featured, as well as new insights into translation regulation in physiology and disease.

Intracellular organelles are connected through regions of close apposition known as membrane contact sites (MCS). The growing understanding of MCS’ biology and function has dramatically changed the traditional view of interplay between biochemically compartmentalised entities. MCS are the means via which organelles channel messages and exchange content defining cellular homeostasis thus making the field one of the fastest growing and vibrant in modern biology.

The recognized significance of MCS in cellular physiology and pathology have made clear the need for an ad hoc forum in which advances can be discussed, technological progresses presented and new avenues to reach impact projected. The EMBO Workshop is that forum and has always been this since its first edition. Now at the 4th, this 2025 iteration aims to gather our community a further time and call for informative exchanges on MCS which will pave new avenues of research from those it had helped to pioneer.

The speakers will, therefore, showcase the diverse aspects of the MCS in mammalian model systems, plants and unicellular eukaryotes, explaining mechanistic aspects of regulation and dysregulation which triggers diseases. Furthermore, they will also illustrate the state-of-the-art methodology to inform MSC biology. Besides benefitting from the contribution of the leaders in the field the meeting will offer active inclusion of postgraduate students and early career researchers.

Course overview This course will focus on the latest state-of-the-art novel library preparation protocols. We will start with experimental design, focusing on hands-on library preparation (including best practices, standards, and potential pitfalls), concluding with sequencing of libraries, bioinformatic evaluation & best practices. Multiomic data in scientific projects have become more and more important. NicE-Seq is a novel method enabling detection of open chromatin in fixed low numbers of cells without any additional instrumentation. Combining open chromatin with transcriptome information is crucial for interpretation of cellular states. Therefore, the course participants will also prepare mRNA libraries from the same cell populations. Participants will carry out a complete workflow, from isolation of DNA & RNA from fixed cells, library preparation for both applications and shallow sequencing. The course will discuss alternative novel approaches, various cell fixatives and their impact on analysis. In addition, we will cover basic bioinformatic tools required for data processing, quality control and initial data analysis. Beside the practical exercises, lectures and discussion sessions, the course will offer the opportunity to learn more about transferring the knowledge gained during the course to the participants’ home institu

The regulation of the transcriptome is key to cellular processes that underpin cell biology, development and tissue function. All classes of cellular RNA are subject to post-transcriptional modification, be it by direct chemical modification, editing or non-templated nucleotide additions. Now in its fourth edition, the ‘Epitranscriptome’ meeting first held at EMBL in 2016 (and repeated in 2018 then in 2022 as a virtual conference) was the first RNA modification-dedicated meeting with the focus on mammalian systems. It is now established that biochemical modifications of nucleotides regulate RNA metabolism, modulate cell functions and contribute to severe human diseases including cancer and metabolic disorders. Moreover, the power of single, chemically modified nucleotides to alter the electrostatic charge, base pairing and stability of RNA molecules is exploited for clinical use of stable artificial RNA transcripts such as mRNA vaccines or synthetic small RNA molecules to increase or decrease the expression of therapeutic proteins.

The nucleus lies at the literal and figurative heart of the cell – as the one organelle that all eukaryotes share, it is over 2 billion years old and integrated with every aspect of cellular function, from mechanosensing and genome regulation to membrane trafficking and cell division. Although the role of the nucleus in organising, housing and protecting the genome frequently takes centre stage, much remains to be discovered about the cellular physiology of this unique organelle studied in its own right rather than just as a passive scaffold for chromatin. This meeting will bring together a group of scientists spanning the fields of biochemistry, membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics, cell division control and cellular biophysics to address the cellular roles of the nuclear compartment from a diversity of angles.
