Biological systems span many levels of organization: from molecules to organelles and cells to the multi-cellular structures of tissues and organs, to whole organisms, and the ecosystems and societies they compose. Organization at all these levels emerges during both evolution and development through the dynamic interactions of system components, giving rise to complex structures and functions. We are only at the beginning of understanding how such levels of organization emerge, and how they self-organize and feed back on one another. Studying and untangling these multi-level interactions requires quantification and modeling approaches that integrate and cross organizational levels. During this lecture course, we will be looking at the emergence and unfolding of multi-level regulatory systems from a transdisciplinary vantage point, drawing from both experimental approaches and theoretical conceptual frameworks to help us understand emergent phenomena.

This symposium will explore how the brain regulates and adapts genetic and molecular processes to enable remarkable information processing and memory storage.

We will bring together world leaders in their fields to explore the complex orchestration of gene regulation, expression, protein dynamics, and their adaptation in neural circuits. With an impressive lineup of internationally renowned speakers and networking events, the symposium welcomes international participants including senior researchers, and talented postdocs & PhD students who are passionate about the molecular underpinnings of brain function.

Limited travel awards will be available by to cover the travel costs of selected international trainees who would otherwise be prevented from attending the symposium. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from some of neuroscience’s most influential voices at the 2025 DANDRITE Symposium!

We cordially invite you to participate in the 5th International Symposium on Frontiers in Molecular Sciences (ISFMS2025)—Molecular Regulatory Mechanisms of Biological Function and Drug Discovery based on Protein Structure/Function Analysis, to be held in Kyoto, Japan, from August 26 to 29, 2025. The symposium will present outstanding research results that elucidate the molecular mechanisms of biological function and regulation, as well as facilitate discussions pertaining to drug design based on molecular biology, biophysical characterization, in vivo environmental homeostasis, organ interactions based on sensory systems, physiome, and AI-assisted analysis of protein structures and functions.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we welcome you and encourage you to actively participate in the 47th SEBBM Congress, which will take place at the San Francisco de Cáceres Complex, in the heart of this historic city, from September 2 to 5, 2025.

During the congress, we will enjoy a wide variety of scientific and cultural activities, including Plenary Conferences, Symposia, such as the Spanish-Portuguese Scientific Symposium on Cancer, Meetings of the Scientific Groups of the SEBBM, Poster Sessions, and the Commercial Exhibition of our collaborating companies. In addition, the program will include several satellite activities such as the Introductory Course to Research in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Professional Development Forum for Young Researchers, and the Biochemistry activities in the city, with exhibitions, scientific-artistic shows and workshops aimed at the general public.

The Plenary Lectures will be given by leading researchers in different areas, including:

• Roger Davis (Inaugural Conference).
• Ana María Cuervo (Closing Conference).
• Alexandra Newton (IUMBB Plenary Conference).
• Paola Pizzo (FEBS Plenary Conference).

In addition, we will have the Leloir Plenary Conference, organized in collaboration with the Argentine Society, and the Niemeyer Plenary Conference, dedicated to the field of plants.

We encourage all attendees to visit the stands of our sponsoring companies, to whom we extend our thanks for their support. We also encourage you to participate in the various calls for the SEBBM Awards, which will be presented during the closing session.

Cáceres, with its majestic historic centre, will be the perfect setting to combine science and culture, offering a unique environment for the exchange of knowledge and new collaborations.

We look forward to seeing you in Cáceres in September 2025!

Spetses Summer Courses are well known for covering various specialized topics within the general field of molecular and cell biology. This FEBS/EMBO Lecture Course is centred on microbiology, which has witnessed a renaissance over the last 20 years. The course will cover different aspects of this “New Microbiology”, including bacterial diversity and evolution, microbial communities and microbiotas, predation and symbiosis, biofilms, host-pathogen interactions, phage biology, bacterial biophysics and cryoelectron tomography.

This ‘FEBS3+ Meeting’, with the motto “Unlocking of the Secrets of Life”, is the XXVIIIth BIOCHEMISTRY CONGRESS of the Czech and Slovak Societies for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, with participation of Polish and German Biochemical Societies.

The thematic focus of the congress is on structural-functional relationships in effector, signaling and regulatory pathways, on biological membranes and cell organelles, traditional topics of energy and substance metabolism with an emphasis on modern knowledge in the field of enzyme catalysis, including its importance for xenobiotic metabolism. Special attention will be paid to novelties in the field of nucleic acids and their components, gene expression, but also epigenetics. We aim at modern approaches in contemporary structural biology in connection with advanced “omics” technologies, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence, as well as “single cell” approaches with advanced high-resolution imaging methods and “high throughput” technologies in contemporary research practice in biochemistry and molecular biology. Molecular mechanisms of diseases and also news about viruses, microbes and parasites are not missing among presented and discussed topics.

After nearly a decade, we have again chosen the pleasant environment of the National Library of Technology in Prague for the congress with the necessary conference facilities, in the vicinity of Prague Castle and other sights and charming places in Prague. With the congress, we would like to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the original Czechoslovak Biochemical Society, recall its origins and discuss the current challenges of contemporary research in molecular life sciences.
