DNA-Ανάλυση: Τα βακτήρια που συνέβαλαν στην ήττα του Ναπολέοντα

The study of molecular chirality in biology is undergoing a transformative shift. Traditionally, biological systems were thought to rely almost exclusively on L-amino acids; however, recent discoveries have revealed the presence and functional significance of D-amino acids across diverse organisms. These findings have uncovered roles for D-amino acids in fundamental physiological processes, including synaptic plasticity, immune modulation, microbiome interactions, and age-related protein modifications. Notably, the identification of protein-bound D-amino acids and their potential involvement in neurodegeneration and cancer represents a paradigm shift with profound implications for biomedical research.As the only dedicated international forum on D-amino acid research, the International D-Amino Acid Research Conference (IDAR) provides a unique platform for the exchange of cutting-edge data, innovative methodologies, and emerging hypotheses. This EMBO Workshop will emphasize interdisciplinary integration, bringing together experts from structural biology, analytical chemistry, enzymology, neuroscience, immunology, and translational medicine. This collaborative approach is critical to addressing outstanding questions regarding the biosynthesis, function, and pathological consequences of D-amino acids.In light of the rapid pace of discovery and the growing interest from the wider life sciences community, IDAR 2026 is both timely and essential. This EMBO Workshop will foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, support the development of early-career researchers, and help shape the future trajectory of this dynamic and rapidly evolving field.

Application is now closed. Selection result will be communicated by the second week of June.Jointly organised by ESO, ESSO, ESTRO and ESP, the key goal of this course is to encourage medical students to specialize in an oncology related discipline. During one week, students will receive theoretical and practical training from experienced teachers.By the end of the course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of oncology and a clear picture of the complexity and importance of the multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment.The programme incorporates plenary sessions, MTD case study presentations, daily special visits to various oncology departments and group course projects that must be finalized and presented at the end of the course. A series of pre-course videos will be provided in advance, followed by a Q&A session before the course starts.*Practical information:Students who wish to apply must have completed their final and penultimate year of studies by the start of the courseStudents are requested to bring their laptops to the course.**Registration information: 40 students will be selected through a competitive application process. Registration fee shall be paid only after you have been selected.Application deadline: 30 April 2026, 12:00 CEST (Application CLOSED)Review process: 1-31 May 2026Communication to candidates: beginning of June 2026
