Dear SBCF members,

As August approaches, we would like to thank you all for your participation in the life of the French Society for Cell Biology. We hope you will enjoy a well-deserved break and return in September ready for an exciting season of scientific exchange.

This year promises to be particularly dynamic, with two outstanding meetings that will bring together our community around cutting-edge cell biology.

« Cell la Vie » October 21-23, 2026 – Paris

The Cell la Vie Meeting will take place in Paris this October, bringing together researchers from across France and beyond to discuss the latest advances in cell biology.

Whether you are an established researcher, a postdoctoral fellow, or a PhD/master student, Cell la Vie is designed to foster interactions across all career stages.

Registration is still open and we encourage you to secure your place and submit your abstracts for posters. Poster submission will close as soon as we reach the upper limit!

We also warmly thank our sponsors and partners whose support makes this event possible.

« Cell Biology of Biocondensates » January 29, 2027 – Lyon

We are also pleased to highlight the Cell Biology of Biocondensates meeting, dedicated to one of the fastest-growing areas in modern cell biology.

This focused conference will explore how biomolecular condensates contribute to cellular organization, signaling, gene regulation, development, and disease. Bringing together leading experts and young scientists, the meeting will offer an excellent opportunity to discuss the latest discoveries and emerging concepts in this rapidly evolving field.

If your research touches on phase separation, membraneless organelles, or cellular compartmentalization, this event should not be missed. Stay tuned for more details on the event!

On behalf of the SBCF council, we look forward to seeing many of you in October 2026 in Paris and at the next Cell Biology of … seminar series in January 2027 in Lyon.

Have a nice summer!

Bénédicte DELAVAL, President of the SBCF
