Immune Aging Conference

Date: September 28-October 1, 2026 | Venue: Lisbon, Portugal

Aging is a complex and multi-dimensional process that affects all tissues of all organisms. Accumulating evidence suggests that disruption of immune homeostasis and responses with age plays a significant role in the aetiology and pathogenesis of many aging-associated diseases. Recent advances in genomic technologies (e.g., single cell, spatial approaches), combined with advances in molecular techniques (CRISPR-Cas9), enable precise descriptions of molecular and cellular changes associated with immune system aging in human cells as well as in model organisms. With these advances, we are in need of interdisciplinary settings to promote interactions to foster collaborative research and career advancement across disciplines.

EMBO Workshop-Building networks: engineering in vascular biology

Date: May 13-15, 2026 | Venue: EMBL Barcelona-Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB)

Vascularisation is a rapidly growing field, with researchers across disciplines recognising its crucial role in organ development, disease progression, and therapeutic delivery. Traditionally, vascular biologists have relied on animal models to investigate key processes such as vascular signalling, angiogenesis, and remodelling. These models remain foundational, however, they do not always fully capture human-specific vascular behaviour.
In recent years, advances in multicellular systems, gene editing, stem cell technologies, and bioengineering have created new opportunities to study vascular biology in vitro using human cells.
This upcoming edition of the meeting aims to unite researchers working at the intersection of engineering and vascular biology, facilitating discussions on how to apply cutting-edge techniques in spatial omics, advanced imaging, and the use of AI to vascular research.

Mitochondria & Cell Fate Transitions: From Stemness to Senescence Conference

Date: May 10-13, 2026 | Venue: St. Julian's, Malta

This conference will explore how mitochondria govern key transitions in cell fate - from quiescence to activation, differentiation, plasticity, and senescence. Recent advances show that mitochondrial dynamics, ultrastructure, and metabolite signaling are tightly linked to decisions that define tissue homeostasis, regeneration, immune responses, and aging. These insights have far-reaching implications for understanding stem cell biology, cancer development, and degenerative disease. The meeting aims to bring together a multidisciplinary audience of stem cell biologists, mitochondrial researchers, immunologists, cancer biologists, neuroscientists and aging experts to explore mitochondria as master regulators of cell identity. Key sessions will cover mitochondrial influence on stemness and differentiation, the role of mitochondrial signaling in cell fate, mechanisms of mitophagy and inner mitochondrial membrane remodeling during fate transitions, and how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to cell senescence and disease.
