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.

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.

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 conference will explore a seemingly paradoxical approach to cancer therapy: the deliberate hyper-activation of cancer-relevant signalling pathways. Accumulating evidence suggests that this leads to cell death caused by a further activation of cellular stress responses. Such an approach could revolutionise treatment strategies, which often cannot abate the return of resistance in advanced cancers caused by secondary mutations reactivating previously inhibited pathways. Join us on 20 and 21 January 2026 to learn the latest science in this field from our panel of globally renowned experts. They will teach you about ways to hyperactivate oncogenic signalling and how the vulnerabilities associated with this state can be identified. In doing so, you’ll gain a fundamentally different perspective on ways to treat cancer. If you work in this field, send us an abstract before 17 November 2025 for a chance to have your work featured as a Proffered Paper or in a Flash Talk presentation! Registration closes on 15 December 2025.

This conference will focus on the basic mechanisms controlling cancer cell signalling circuits at the transcriptome, proteome and phosphoproteome levels, as well as emerging concepts in cancer cell signalling and cutting-edge, OMICS-based insights. Despite decades of research, our global understanding of how cancer cell signalling circuits are controlled, and how they determine cancer progression and therapy resistance, is still far from complete. Join us online on 10 and 11 February 2026 to hear the latest science in this area from a panel of global experts. If you work in this field, submit an abstract before 15 December 2025 for a chance to have your work featured as a Proffered Paper or in a Flash Talk presentation.

Metabolomics involves the comprehensive analysis of small molecules within a biological sample. Typically acquired using mass spectrometry, metabolomics data reflect the cellular state which can provide insights into health, disease, environmental toxicity, industrial technology, and other areas. Metabolomics data is rich and complex, requiring specialized techniques to interpret the data. With improved detection technologies and advances in machine learning and generative AI, computational analysis of metabolomics is rapidly expanding. This Dagstuhl Seminar extends the Computational Metabolomics series by focusing on enhancing our understanding of metabolomics data and turning the data into actionable biological insights. During this seminar, we aim to discuss topics related to several current challenges in metabolomics.

Living systems operate far from equilibrium, relying on a complex network of biochemical processes fueled by energy from their environment. However, this energy is often limited, and biochemical systems must use it efficiently to maintain robust functioning. Despite the critical role of chemical and metabolic networks in evolution, growth, and signaling, how energy constraints shape their behaviors or the full range of their emergent properties remain elusive. Addressing these open questions is essential for uncovering the fundamental principles that drive the complexity of life, and the link between energetic and cellular functions. By drawing on concepts from physics, we can better understand how living organisms optimize their limited energy resources and potentially apply these insights to the design of new materials with life-like properties. The aim of this workshop is to bridge different fields—stochastic thermodynamics, metabolic networks, and synthetic life—creating a connection among theoretical, computational, and experimental scientists to tackle these challenges.
