About the Workshop

Recent advances in biophysical methods led to stunning new insights into the complex inner workings of cells and the interplay between their macromolecular components. Spurred by technological breakthroughs in light and electron microscopy, tomography, mass spectrometry, single and ensemble molecule spectroscopies such as FRET, NMR and EPR, cellular in situ studies can now be performed at unprecedented levels of spatial and temporal resolution.

The goal of this EMBO Workshop is to showcase technological advances and their innovative biological applications, ranging from quantitative approaches in cellular systems biology to structural in-cell studies at near atomic resolution. Specifically, we aim to highlight complementary aspects of different in situ methods and discuss their synergistic potential for future applications.

Research areas covered in the workshop include

  • Cellular Systems Biology
  • Cellular Proteomics & Biochemistry
  • Single Molecule Cell Biology
  • Cellular Imaging
  • Cellular Structural Biology
  • Visualization & Communication

We strongly encourage participation of scientists with diverse backgrounds to foster exchange between various disciplines on a broad scale.


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

A scientific committee will select abstracts based on relevance, scientific excellence, diversity of approaches, and timeliness (with preference for results that are not yet published). For selected short talks, priority will be given to young investigators and senior post-doctoral fellows.

Abstract guidelines

Abstracts are limited to 250 words and should provide a concise overview of the scientific aims and methods. The main conclusion(s) of the presented work should be summarized in the last sentence of the abstract.

Poster specifications

  • Please bring one printed copy of your poster, A0 size (841 x 1189 mm or 33.1 x 46.8 in), in portrait format (on-site printing service is not provided or available).
  • A number of sponsored poster prizes will be awarded for outstanding contributions.
  • Award posters will be selected by a speakers’ committee

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. Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizer who will notify all eligible participants. More information is available at EMBO Travel Grants' page.
