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.

Early-onset cancers are rising globally. Cancers typically associated with those over the age of 50 are increasingly being diagnosed in young adults. How to prevent and treat these tumours is still unknown. This conference aims to foster a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms, risk factors, and clinical implications of early-onset cancers. By bringing together leading experts from diverse fields in cancer research, the meeting will provide a unique platform to discuss the latest discoveries about early-onset cancers, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and identifying strategies for early detection, prevention, and treatment. Special attention will be given to knowledge gaps, translational studies and healthcare disparities, and towards improving the clinical management of early-onset cancer patients. The target audience for this conference is researchers and physicians who are interested in the epidemiology and aetiology of sporadic cancers among younger adults to discuss key questions in the field and lay the foundations for generating a community dedicated to the study of early-onset cancers.
