Over the last years, cellular metabolism has been appreciated as crucial component for different biological processes, ranging from transcriptional regulation and epigenetics, to control of stem cell or cancer cell behavior and to how cells respond to stress.
The annual SIBBM Seminar is one of the most successful Italian scientific events with over 200 participants and its aim is to bring together top international and national speakers at the leading-edge of molecular and cellular biology.
For these reasons we have decided that the 2021 SIBBM Seminar will focus on how cell metabolism impacts on several fundamental biological processes. We will also discuss ongoing efforts to understand and target metabolic networks.
To foster active participation from young scientists, nearly 50% of talks will be selected from submitted abstracts, which can be on any research topic related to molecular biology, and the registration fee is reduced in particular for Ph.D. students.
Moreover, several prizes for the best poster and short talks will be awarded, including two The EMBO Journal prizes and the "Francesca Martini" prize from NAnA Onlus for the best poster on cancer research
Editors from prestigious international journals (Cell Metabolism, eLife, The EMBO Journal, Journal of Cell Science, Nature Metabolism, and Nature) will attend the meeting.
We are also pleased to announce that a limited number of Childcare Grants are provided by SIBBM for this conference to offset childcare costs incurred by participants or speakers when participating in this virtual event.
We hope you enjoy the programme and that you will participate in large numbers!
