EMBO Workshop | Developmental metabolism: flows of energy, matter, and information
September 9 to September 12
This conference will take place at EMBL Heidelberg, with the option to attend virtually.
Conference Overview
The fundamental question of the role of metabolism in development has seen a revival in interest over recent years, creating the need for the first edition of this workshop in 2023. This second edition is set to reunite the community two years on, and to ensure the ongoing interactions that can propel progress in developmental metabolism.
In this rapidly advancing field, metabolomic methods play a crucial role in unraveling complex processes. The workshop will again aim to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds: developmental biology, genetics, epigenetics, ecology, physics and math, to provide the developmental metabolism community with cutting-edge research and methodologies applied across scales, insights into the latest advancements in metabolomic techniques and their application to developmental biology. New for 2025 will be an increased integration of tool development and technologies and an added focus on novel metabolomic approaches.
Topics over the six sessions will include:
- Physical bioenergetics
- Metabolic constraints in developing systems
- Metabolic control: who got the power?
- Metabolic signaling in time and space – metabolites as morphogens
- New enabling technologies to study metabolism in time and space
- Metabolic plasticity – facing ever-changing internal and external environments
