GSK Ελλάδος: Συνέντευξη του Γ. Καλόγηρου στο iatronet για την Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Γυναικολογικής Ογκολογίας

The organization of cells into membrane-bound compartments is fundamental to life, requiring proteins to cross these barriers through highly specialized translocation systems. Understanding these processes is essential for uncovering the molecular basis of cellular function and its impact on health and disease. For over two decades, EMBO’s Protein Translocation Workshops have been at the forefront of this field, driving progress in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems.This 2026 EMBO Workshop will highlight cutting-edge structural and mechanistic insights into classical translocation pathways, powered by revolutionary new technologies. Traditionally this EMBO Workshop focusses on the canonical protein trafficking pathways found in diverse bacteria and in eukaryotic organelles: mitochondria, chloroplasts, peroxisomes and the endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, we will venture into exciting new territory—exploring emerging evidence for previously unknown protein transport systems, particularly in unique endosymbiotic contexts. Attendees will gain exposure to groundbreaking discoveries, conceptual advances, and the latest developments shaping this dynamic area of research.This EMBO Workshop offers a vibrant platform for early-career and established scientists to share findings, engage in stimulating discussions, and build collaborations. Since 2003, these meetings have fostered innovation and community growth, and their continuation remains vital for inspiring the next generation of researchers.This EMBO Workshop will also incorporate two moderated panel sessions, one that focuses on student and postdoc career development and another aimed at gender and ethnicity issues in the daily life of researchers

Over the past decades, this EMBO Workshop on Regeneration & Tissue Repair has become the key international meeting for scientists investigating basic biological questions in regeneration and repair using whole animals or organ/tissue "systems" approaches. This EMBO Workshop attracts scientists from all around the world, who would normally not meet, that have diverse expertise and use various research models from invertebrates to mammals. Each meeting approaches regeneration from different angles. This EMBO Workshop will focus on the cellular and molecular relationships between development, regeneration and aging, regeneration-induced immune responses, cellular behavior/signaling, the diversity of vertebrate and invertebrate research models and their shared or model-specific mechanisms underlying regeneration. This EMBO Workshop is meant to propel our understanding of the field, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms, stimulate discussions, and foster the development of new perspectives and collaborations. The overall goal of this EMBO Workshop is to significantly advance our understanding of how regeneration is coordinated in a whole animal or organ, providing new venues and opportunities to enhance the non- or reduced mammalian regenerative capacities and develop more effective therapeutic approaches to convert healing into regeneration. The University of Vienna is the main organizer of this EMBO Workshop.

SCOPEIV Euro Diabetes, Endocrinology & Metabolic Diseases Conference focuses on advancing scientific understanding of metabolic disorders, exploring cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic innovations, and facilitating interdisciplinary exchange. It addresses emerging trends in diabetes, endocrine pathophysiology, and metabolic disease mechanisms, aiming to enhance translational research, clinical management, and patient-centered outcomes.

SCOPEThe Euro Reproduction, Fertility & Gynecology Conference advances knowledge in reproductive medicine, fertility, and women’s health by uniting researchers, clinicians, and allied healthcare professionals. It explores clinical innovations, technological advancements, and multidisciplinary strategies, addressing both medical and socio-cultural aspects to improve patient care, optimize reproductive outcomes, and foster global collaboration.
