Flow cytometry is a highly effective method for analysing individual cells that has become widely used in the fields of life sciences and medicine. By utilising flow cytometry, researchers can accurately identify and measure specific cell populations within complex mixtures, as well as assess cell cycle progression, proliferation status, and expression of fluorescent markers. Our course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles of flow cytometry, while also emphasising practical considerations related to the most frequently used assays. Through a combination of theoretical instruction and hands-on training, students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively design, execute, and interpret flow cytometry experiments.

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.

This course will provide training in genome editing and cell engineering in mammalian cells and mouse embryos using the highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9 system. Participants will learn design of CRISPR targets using bioinformatics tools, generation of gene knock-outs/knock-ins, and target validation using the most current technologies. The course will be split into two groups (mammalian cells OR mice) based on participants’ expertise. Please note that all participants are expected to engage in all sessions. Participants should plan for approximately 1 hour extra per day for self paced learning modules.

We are excited to welcome you in Bordeaux for the 4th edition of the Integrative Structural Biology Meeting (BSI), co-organized with the Association Française de Cristallographie (AFC) and the Société Française de Biophysique (SFB). We are currently experiencing a historic and transformative shift in structural and cellular biology, driven by groundbreaking advancements in super-resolution optical microscopy and cryo-electron microscopy. These technologies are surpassing previous resolution limits, enabling unprecedented insights into the architecture of proteins, organelles, cells, and tissues. This opens the door to a more comprehensive, multi-scale understanding of biological systems. As a result, structural biologists, biophysicists, biochemists, and cell biologists are becoming increasingly interconnected. By sharing our knowledge and innovations, we can explore structural biology in greater depth and uncover the full complexity of its underlying mechanisms.

Designing efficient novel therapeutics cannot be achieved without understanding the dynamics of the tumour microenvironment or of reciprocal cancer-stroma interactions and how they are modulated by cancer treatments. With this in mind, the second edition of this conference topic will cover the latest exciting breakthroughs in this field. Specialist themes include the intricate interactions of cancer cells with the immune system and with specific stromal cells in multiple organs, novel insights into tumour-host interactions including the nervous system, and response to therapy. If you’re interested in translational cancer biology, immunology, and therapeutics – whether you’re a scientist, postdoc, graduate student, industry scientist, or journal editor – then this conference is not to be missed. Submit your application by 19 January 2026 for the chance to present your work and register by 16 February 2026 to join us in Bergamo.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will focus on advancing mathematical modeling frameworks and theory to address the urgent challenges posed by declining pollinator populations. Insect pollination is vital to terrestrial ecosystems and agriculture, with honeybee pollination in the United States alone valued at over $12 billion annually. Yet, substantial evidence shows that pollinator populations are in sharp decline, with honeybee colony losses reaching unprecedented levels — threatening agricultural sustainability and food security. These declines result from complex interactions among environmental factors (e.g., shifting climate patterns) and biological processes (e.g., exposure to agrochemicals such as insecticides and fungicides, parasitic infections, diseases, and habitat degradation).

Mathematical population biologists study of a wide array of biological phenomena—such as the spread of alleles in a populations, the coexistence of competing species within ecosystems, the branching of phylogenetic trees, the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases, and the demographic history of populations—that are typically studied across distinct biological subfields, including demography, ecology, epidemiology, and population genetics. Although these phenomena are often represented in separate scientific communities, they are united by a core set of mathematical and computational modeling philosophies and approaches. Recent advances in computation and data-gathering technologies have greatly increased our power to test hypotheses about ecological and evolutionary processes and to make detailed inferences about the structure of populations. These advances have facilitated the development of new models for individuals and populations in space and over time, including models that relax some of the core assumptions underlying much of previous theory.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in population biology who draw on diverse areas, including stochastic processes, mathematical statistics, dynamical systems, combinatorics and, increasingly, computational modeling and simulation, to share the latest mathematical advances and tools across subfields. This exchange of approaches will reveal synergies and spark new research directions.
