Description

Modern lipid biology has evolved far beyond the traditional view of lipids as simple building blocks or energy substrates. Lipids are now recognised as dynamic regulators of biological structures and functions. This progress has been driven by remarkable advancements in technologies and experimental tools, which are uncovering new perspectives on lipid functions and their role in organising biological systems. To further advance the field, it is essential to unravel not only the collective properties of lipids but also their structural and functional interactions with proteins in complex biological processes. The EMBO Workshop "Lipid Code to Life" will bring together leading scientists and early-career researchers from diverse disciplines—including lipidomics, chemical biology, structural biology, and membrane biophysics—to discuss the latest discoveries in lipid functions, quality control, and lipid-protein interactions. This EMBO Workshop is designed to create a dynamic and collaborative environment where participants can exchange ideas, build networks, and foster collaborations. By bringing together expertise from a wide range of intersecting fields, our aim is to propel lipid biology forward, driving innovation, new synergies, and growth in this rapidly advancing area of research.
