About the Workshop

Novel biophysical tools, combined with advanced cell biology, imaging and 'in vivo' methods have brought about a revolution in molecular neurobiology. This EMBO Workshop will bring together experts working at the interfaces between structural biology, biophysics and neurobiology. Particular focus is placed on processes that happen at or close to the cell membrane, where information is transduced by sophisticated mechanisms such as receptor-ligand interactions and channel properties. Given its cross-disciplinary nature, this EMBO Workshop will present excellent opportunities for discussion, forging new collaborations, comparing state-of-the art methods and combining views from different scientific perspectives. It will thus set the stage for a collaborative future in molecular neurobiology.


About EMBO Courses and Workshops

EMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender).

Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable.

Selection criteria

All participants will be selected based on scientific excellence.

The criteria for selecting speakers from submitted abstracts are:

  • scientific excellence
 (results and methods)
  • close match with the scientific scope of the meeting

  • young researchers, usually less than 7 years post PhD
  • at least 30% female speakers

We will take special circumstances into account, for example, if maternity leave has delayed a research career. We ask that this information be provided in the application.

Abstract guidelines

Potential participants may submit:

  • one abstract each (maximum 200 words)

The abstract should contain a clear description of the results that will be presented, their biological significance and impact, and the methods employed to obtain the results. The title should be no more than 80 characters including spaces.

Poster specifications

The posters should be A0 (portrait)

Travel grants

A limited number of travel grants are available for participants. Applicants do not need to apply separately for travel grants for this event but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered for a travel grant.
