“Cellular Metabolism” symposium

We are delighted to share with you the preliminary program of the “Cellular Metabolism” symposium, which will take place on Monday, December 8, 2025, at Campus Brabois Santé.

This event will be a great opportunity to exchange ideas on the latest scientific advances in the field of cellular metabolism, featuring:
– An inspiring plenary lecture
– Several oral and technical presentations
– Friendly networking moments to foster discussions and collaborations

Admission is free and no prior registration is required.
We look forward to seeing you for this enriching day of scientific exchange and knowledge sharing!
