The DNA Polymerase Meeting is coming to Paris. 📅 Sep 28–Oct 1, 2026. 📍 Institut Pasteur 🧬 From structure & fidelity to engineering, sequencing and synthetic biology. 8th edition of a biennial conference shaping the field. Register : www.8th-dna-polymerases.conferences-pasteur.org

The DNA Polymerase Meeting is a biennial international conference that brings together scientists from around the globe to discuss the latest discoveries in the field of DNA polymerases and their role in DNA replication and repair.

Topics will span from fundamental mechanistic insights into polymerase structure and function to cutting-edge applications in biotechnology, medicine, and synthetic biology.

DNA polymerases are not only essential for maintaining genome integrity under diverse cellular conditions, but they have also become indispensable tools in molecular biology and technology—powering PCR, sequencing, genome editing, aptamer generation and diagnostic innovations.

The past seven conferences held in Ascona, Madrid, Cambridge, Biarritz, Leiden, Stockholm, and Warsaw were extremely successful, fostering collaborations and advancing the field.

We are delighted to continue this tradition with the upcoming meeting in Paris, scheduled for Sep 28th to Oct 1st 2026.

🧬 EMBO Workshop – The complexity of mycobacterial infections: from research to real-world impact 📅 14–18 Sept 2026, Paris Tuberculosis & non-tuberculous mycobacteria at the heart of discussions: evolution, host–pathogen interactions, drug resistance. 🔗 meetings.embo.org/event/26-myc...

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. Meanwhile, non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are an increasing global health concern. NTM infections often resemble TB clinically, which can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate therapy. Additionally, drug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis and NTM exacerbate the global antimicrobial resistance crisis. A better understanding of the biology of mycobacterial pathogens and of the mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis and transmission is critical to reduce their burden worldwide.

This EMBO Workshop is the fourth in a successful series held at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, following the meetings organized in 2012, 2016, and 2022. It will bring together scientists, clinicians, public health experts, and representatives from industry and non-profit organizations, who will share recent insights into mycobacterial infections, from fundamental discoveries to translational research, and their practical implications. The program will cover mycobacterial evolution, physiology, metabolism, host–pathogen interactions, immune responses, mechanisms of drug evasion, therapeutic strategies, vaccines, and diagnostics. Emerging experimental models, computational approaches, and artificial intelligence will also be addressed, showing how recent technologies contribute to advancing mycobacterial research and interventions.

Shigella was the leading cause of diarrheal disease during World War One; and more than 100 years later, it continues to cause approximately 200 million cases and 216,000 deaths per year around the globe. Shigella is a leading cause of moderate to severe diarrhea in children less than five years of age in low- and middle-income nations, and significant disease occurs throughout Europe and North America due to sexual transmission, food borne and water borne outbreaks, and high incidence in homeless populations. The lack of a licensed vaccine, coupled with alarming increases in antimicrobial resistance, has led the World Health Organization to declare Shigella a priority pathogen for which research into new therapeutics are urgently needed.
