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

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.

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).

PIs of tomorrow: Life Sciences Switzerland (LS2) – Deadline Oct. 6, 2024

Dear postdoctoral fellows,
We are pleased to announce the call for applications to the

“PIs of tomorrow: The Future of Swiss Research”

session at the next LS2 Annual Meeting 2025 which will be held in Fribourg, 12-13 February 2025. This session offers postdocs interested in an academic career an opportunity to present a plenary talk similar in format to a professorship interview seminar.

Selected participants will have the chance to deliver a 12-minute presentation which should appeal to a broad audience. This talk should also highlight the current achievements of the researcher alongside their proposed future research ideas and aspirations. The talk will be followed by a 14-minute discussion on various aspects of the proposed activity, alongside career-oriented aspects of the presenter. A knowledgeable jury panel of professors will evaluate the presentations.

Two prizes will be awarded, by the Jury and by the Public. As well, all finalists presenting in the session will receive feedback from the jury in a one-on-one private session afterwards focussed on career development and advice. In addition, finalists will have their costs covered to attend the LS2 Annual Meeting 2025, taking advantage of the opportunity to expand or refresh your network in Switzerland via interaction with scientists in and outside your field.

Eligibility criteria:

  1. Early career post-PhD researcher with a net academic age of max. 5 years (following SNSF age regulations to take into account career breaks, maternity/paternity leaves, etc: https://www.snf.ch/media/en/Of9kzylTRoaTlliN/SNSF_net-academic-age.pdf).
  2. Ties to Switzerland (i.e. Swiss citizenship, Swiss residency, past or on-going affiliation with a Swiss institution of at least two years).
  3. Currently not in a permanent or tenure track position. For all requirements, the relevant date is that of the deadline (06.10.2024 at 23:59 CET).

Applications must be received by October 6th, 2024 (23:59 CET).
For questions on the session, contact postdocsession@gmail.com. We look forward to your application and hope to welcome you in February 2025 at the LS2 meeting!
