The INSERM workshop “Modern methods in molecular parasitology” will take place in Montpellier, France, from 4–6 November 2026.

This event will bring together leading experts in molecular biology and parasitology to present and discuss the latest technological advances in chromatin and RNA biology, proteomics, imaging, and host–parasite interactions. It is open to researchers at all career stages and will provide ample opportunities for discussion and collaboration.

In addition, three hands-on practical courses will be offered for interested participants:

  1. Third-generation sequencing

  2. Genome organisation

  3. Structural biology

These practical sessions will take place in Paris and Grenoble. Capacity is limited to 80 participants for the theoretical workshop and 8–10 participants per practical course, so early registration is recommended.
