Workshop

EMBO Workshop: Molecular Mechanisms in Evolution and Ecology

A hybrid workshop examining the molecular mechanisms underlying evolutionary and ecological processes. Topics include the molecular basis of adaptation, the evolution of gene regulatory networks, molecular ecology approaches, and the integration of molecular data with ecological and evolutionary theory.

Workshop

EMBO Workshop: Telomere Function and Maintenance in Health and Disease

A workshop dedicated to the biology of telomeres and telomerase, covering telomere structure, replication, and protection mechanisms. Topics include telomere shortening in ageing, telomerase regulation in cancer and stem cells, and the molecular basis of telomere-related diseases such as dyskeratosis congenita.
