50 Years of Cell Biology: German Society for Cell Biology Meeting, October 26 – 29, 2025 | Heidelberg, Germany Early bird registration deadline: June 15, 2025

After the success of our 2023 Imaging Cell Dynamics conference, we’ll be hosting a second #JCSImaging meeting in 2026, organised by @franbottanelli.bsky.social, @guijacquemet.bsky.social‬, @drmichaelway.bsky.social‬ & Giulia Zanetti. To register your interest: www.biologists.com/meetings/jcs...

On my way home after 3 days full of great talks and lively discussions at Fort-Mahon-Plage. Thank you @clubexo-endo.bsky.social community, I had a blast!

We look forward to meeting again in Paris for the half-day meeting in November and for the next meeting in May 2026, which should be held in Aussois (Savoie, France).

The “family photo”. Thank you to all the participants who made this meeting so rich in science and exchange! Thanks to the organizers for the exceptional scientific program and the free time to discover the Baie de Somme. Do not hesitate to join the club!

Congratulations to Julie Beaucousin and Andela Petrovic who won the best poster presentation awards !!

To close the meeting, great talk of Juliane Da Graça, winner of the 2025 thesis prize, presented her work on the role of endosome-endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact sites in autophagy regulation in normal and cancer cells.

The prizes for best presentations went to Léa Ripoll for her work on adenylate cyclase and dopamine signalling in neurons and Quentin Frenger for his work on ATG16L1 and B cell antigen receptor trafficking. Congratulations !!

Great talks these two last days, including Marc Bitoun (Institut de Myologie, Paris) as keynote speaker who showed impressive data on allele-specific silencing therapy for centronuclear myopathy due to dyn2 mutations.

Come and join the club Exo Endo! 🔬

Both keynote speakers (Aylin Hanyaloglu, London and Sara Sigismund, Milan ) offered compelling insights into the spatial control of receptor trafficking and signaling dynamics, how cellular compartment and MCS shapes signaling outcomes. @cellbiology.bsky.social exoendo.org/evenement/27...
