Dioscuri activities

3rd annual

Mini symposium

Invitation to next event

How do metabolic signals shape our bones, control stem cells, and influence health across a lifetime? Join us for a morning of cutting-edge science at the intersection of metabolism, skeletal biology, and regenerative medicine.

The Dioscuri Centre for Stem Cell Biology and Metabolic Diseases invites the scientific community to a mini-symposium bringing together leading researchers to share their latest discoveries. The programme features talks ranging from the unexpected roles of tyrosine metabolism in bone and nutritional control of lifespan and tissue homeostasis, to transcriptional adaptation, lipid regulation of stem and cancer cells, and the immune cells that support bone regeneration after injury.

Whether you are a researcher, student, or simply curious about the science of life, this is a rare opportunity to hear world-class scientists in an intimate setting — free of charge.
