Information:
We are delighted to announce the CMMC Symposium 2026 in Molecular Medicine – Metabolic Control of Tissue Regeneration and Degeneration, taking place September 28–30, 2026, at the Medical Campus of the University of Cologne, Germany, integrating the 38th Ernst Klenk Symposium, a long-standing forum for excellence in molecular medicine. The meeting is open to all and free of charge; free registration is required.
Recent advances in molecular medicine have highlighted the central role of the metabolism of different macromolecules in regulating tissue regeneration and degeneration. In this context, metabolic programs and metabolites function not only as energy and substrate suppliers, but also as regulatory elements that determine e.g., cell proliferation, differentiation, reprogramming and immune responses. Understanding the mechanistic relationship between these regenerative cell functions and metabolic programs is key to addressing major challenges in human health and disease.
The meeting aims to foster interdisciplinary exchange between basic and clinical research, bringing together scientists from molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, metabolism research, immunology, stem cell biology, and clinical medicine. We warmly welcome early-career researchers, junior group leaders, and students, and encourage their active participation. The symposium provides an excellent platform to present research, exchange ideas, and build scientific networks.
