Molecular Biosystems Conference

Today we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

At the Molecular Biosystems Conference, we are committed to fostering an inclusive community, and to advancing and amplifying the work of women scientists across Latin America and beyond.

First Keynote Speaker for the 2027 edition of @molbiosystems.bsky.social is confirmed!

A key part of the @molbiosystems.bsky.social conference, is our New PI session, where we invite researchers who have been lab heads for <5 years for plenary talks.

If you are a new PI in eukaryotic gene reg/functional genomics, and would like to join us in Chile for 2027, please let me know!

For @molbiosystems.bsky.social, we do everything way in advance.

Indeed, in 2024, I invited a speaker for the 2027 edition of the meeting. They said yes, but asked me to follow up in 2026. I did. They declined 😭

We do, however, keep a very strong speaker candidate list! Interested? let me know!

Gene regulation through exon junction complex modularity - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology This Review summarizes the various functions of the exon junction complex in RNA splicing and beyond, to influence gene regulation.

🚀 Another edition of the Molecular Biosystems Conference is in the books! #mbiosys25

Thank you to our amazing speakers, participants, and sponsors, including ICGEB and @unubiolac.bsky.social, for making Puerto Varas a hub of exciting discussions on gene regulation and functional genomics. 🔽

Thank you so much for joining us! And for sharing your thoughts and wisdom via your workshop and Topical Lunches. We are glad you had a great time at the meeting, and we hope to see you again in a future edition!

Wonderful opportunity to work with Martin Howard and my group trying to understand how chromatin influences gene transcription and expression. Integration of theory, modelling, and experimentation. Come and join the team!

I had an amazing time last week at the #mBioSys25 @molbiosystems.bsky.social conference in beautiful Puerto Varas, Chile! It was incredibly inspiring to learn from and connect with scientists at all career stages from around the world.

🫶 Huge thanks to the organizers for a fantastic event!

It's been a true pleasure attending to #mbiosys25 @molbiosystems.bsky.social , lots of networking opportunities, strong focus on trainees, connecting LATAM scientists and a mindblowing landscape. We can't wait for #mbiosys27 !!😂🧬🏔️

The @molbiosystems.bsky.social was an absolutely fantastic meeting. So many amazing people doing so much amazing research. I learned many new things, made new friends and hopefully will have new collaborations and more excuses to return in two years. Big thanks to organisers and everyone else!

Muy contento de haber podido asistir al #mbiosys25 🧬

Mi más sincera enhorabuena a @molbiosystems.bsky.social por conectar a los participantes acercando ciencia de vanguardia de alto nivel en un ambiente de personas y entorno difíciles de mejorar.

Nos veremos #mbiosys27 !! 🌎🗻🏔️

The @molbiosystems.bsky.social meeting in Puerto Varas (Chile) has come to an end 🧬✨

Inspiring talks, fresh ideas, and the chance to meet new colleagues from around the globe! 🌎 The stunning natural surroundings made it even more special 🌋

Thanks to everyone involved for such an experience!

It’s almost the end of our #mbiosys25 meeting, and what a privilege it has been to listen to the amazing talk by Michael Elowitz on synthetic biology. His work on dosage compensation gene circuits for tumor therapy delivery is truly mind-blowing!
