The EMBO Workshop Chemical Biology 2026 runs at the EMBL Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg and in parallel online, and bills itself as the largest and longest-standing conference in its field. Five session tracks cover big data, AI and design; chemical technologies to probe biology; chemical technologies to manipulate biology; chemical synthetic biology; and the RNA world — spanning tool development through to new drug modalities and computational protein design. Keynotes come from Michelle Arkin and William DeGrado (UC San Francisco) and Paola Picotti (ETH Zurich), with speakers drawn from academia and industry across Europe, the US and Asia. On-site registration has closed; virtual registration is open until 1 September 2026.

A one-day summit at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg aimed at founders, investors and innovators in health and life sciences, run by DKFZ together with encourageventures. Doors open at 09:00 and the day closes at 17:00, structured as three moderated sessions built around an opening keynote by Martina Pfeifer, a founder keynote after lunch, and an investor keynote in the afternoon. The morning is given over to two pitch blocks, one for early-stage startups and a second for rising startups. Two panel discussions anchor the afternoon: one on the translation of biomedical innovations, with speakers from the National Network Office GCT Germany at BIH, BioLabs and NCT Heidelberg, and one on building high-growth, inclusive ecosystems, with speakers from PAICON, encourageventures and ESMT. The lunch break runs Meet-the-Founders tables and founder-and-investor speed dating, and after closing remarks at 16:00 the programme finishes with open networking until the 17:00 close. Welcome remarks come from Silke Uhrig-Schmidt and Marieke Essers of DKFZ, and the event is kindly supported by InnovationLab and the H3 Health Hub.

EMBL delivers world-class courses, conferences and workshops at the forefront of molecular life science and its applications.
An EMBO Practical Course at the EMBL Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg, running ten days of hands-on training in advanced imaging, quantitative analysis and complementary biophysical methods. It answers a field reshaped by single-molecule imaging, in situ structural biology and quantitative live-cell microscopy — and by AI-based image analysis that now produces vast, high-dimensional datasets and with them new problems of experimental design, data integration and interpretation. Modules run from introductory microscopy and single-molecule biophysical characterisation through super-resolution and expansion methods to theory for cell biology and image analysis via classical and deep-learning approaches. Scientific organisers are Niccolò Banterle and Thomas Quail (EMBL Heidelberg) with Beth Cimini (Broad Institute); participants bring their own laptop.
