EMBO Practical Course — Super-resolution in light microscopy
18 Jun 2023 - 23 Jun 2023 • Prague – hybrid, Czech Republic
Organizer:
European Molecular Biology Organization – EMBO
Abstract:
The main goal of this course is to practically demonstrate a broad variety of SRLM methods. During the course, a majority of available SRLM systems will be demonstrated and available for hands-on experience. Leading experts of the field will present their research and methodology. Many opportunities for discussions and social networking will provide a unique and highly efficient environment to support sharing of skills and knowledge. This promotes establishing of contacts and communication channels within the in-field scientific SR community. The focus of the course is on the practical part with a lot of hands-on sessions supported by theoretical lectures and complemented by presentations of ongoing scientific projects presented by leaders of the field.

EMBO Workshop — Eukaryotic RNA turnover and viral biology
20 Jun 2023 - 23 Jun 2023 • Brno , Czech Republic
Organizer:
European Molecular Biology Organization – EMBO
Abstract:
Postponed from 21.09.2021–24.09.2021

Viruses are major human pathogens that cause a wide range of infectious diseases, representing a constantly recurring challenge to the health of individuals and the functioning of human society. Only a profound understanding of viral biology will provide the basis for developing and improving antiviral therapies. While RNA turnover has long been studied in the context of cellular gene regulation and quality control mechanisms, the interplay between RNA turnover and viral life cycles is only now emerging as a key component of virus-host interactions. For example, Herpes viruses, Poxvirus, Influenza virus and SARS-Coronavirus encode ribonucleases that cleave host mRNA and thereby support virus reproduction. Flaviviruses such as Dengue virus, West Nile virus and Hepatitis C virus encode a non-coding RNA that blocks Xrn1, a major cellular exoribonuclease, as a means to escape from an antiviral activity. The endonuclease RNase L is another component of the mammalian antiviral defense system, highlighting the importance of ribonucleases in the encounter of viruses with their host cells.

This EMBO Workshop will bring together molecular biologists working on basic mechanisms controlling RNA turnover with virologists exploring RNA turnover in the context of virus-host interactions, and propel the scientific exchange in this emerging area of research.
