This 2026 EMBO Workshop on the Molecular Biology of Archaea will view biology through the prism of Archaea while marking five decades of archaeal research. Join us in Cambridge, UK, to forge new links between established experts and the many researchers entering the field, integrating knowledge, skills and techniques across disciplines. To strengthen community building, we will host dedicated sessions for Early Career Researcher (ECR) networking, science communication and career development.
These activities will begin with be early registration for ECRs along with a pre-meeting lunchtime networking session exclusively for ECRs on the July 6th from 11:30am.
Specific scientific sessions include:
- Archaeal Evolution & Eukaryogenesis
- Structural Biology & Biophysics
- Cell Biology of Archaea
- Information Processing: Replication, Transcription & Translation
- Archaea in Context: Ecology & Biogeochemistry
- Friend or Foe? Hosts, Symbionts, Viruses & Mobile Elements
- Unique Archaeal Biology & Physiology
- Technical Frontiers
