Organizers

Regulation from DNA to Protein

The Gene Regulation Workshop is a one day meeting in Lausanne featuring internationally recognized scientists that work on molecular mechanisms controlling transcriptional and post-transcriptional responses in gene expression to cell-type specific, developmental or environmental cues.

The workshop will be organized in a hybrid format, with in person attendance and the possibility to follow the talks online (link upon registration).

Unil Sleep Research Day on April 4th, 2025

Posted on by

The Unil and CHUV sleep labs invite you to the Unil Sleep Research Day on April 4th, 2025 | 09:00 – 17:00.

This symposium provides an exciting opportunity to explore recent advancements in Sleep Research.

Guest speakers include Prof. Sophie Schwartz and Prof. Paul Franken.

As a special lecture this year, Dr. Karine Crousaz will present her research on the history of sleep in the Early Modern Period (1500–1800).

Additionally, neuroscientists and clinicians from the Sleep labs in the Lausanne area will present their most recent work.

Seminars and talks are on-site at the CHUV.

Registration to the full day symposium is free but mandatory as the number of participants is limited.

Thu Feb 6 – Fri Feb 7, 2025 – Lausanne (Gen)Omics Days 2025

Posted on by

Dear all,

The Lausanne Genomics Days is a 2-day international conference meant to share advances in (Gen)Omics and their impact on biological research, applied to a wide range of topics (it does involve 5 UNIL departments CIG, DBC, DBMV, DEE, and DMF).

It will take place at UNIL / Genopode on Thursday and Friday February 6th and 7th 2025.

The conference offers 5 sessions:

  • Breakthrough technologies in Biology and Medicine (chair: Prof. Sven Bergmann)
  • Single cell genomics in evolution and development (chair: Prof. Sebastian Soyk)
  • Biological interactions across scales (chair: Prof. Philipp Engel)
  • The role of structural variation for adaptation and species divergence (chair: Prof. Tanja Schwander)
  • Epigenomics & 3D genome folding in organoids and organisms (chair: Prof. Maria Cristina Gambetta).

For detailed program and more information, please visit the event webpage

Registration is FREE of charge. Still, it is mandatory for organization purpose, in particular ensuring that there will not be food wasted (coffee breaks, lunch and apero are offered).

HERE is the direct link for registration.

Best regards
