4th Symposium tribute to Maxime Dahan
The 4th edition of the Symposium in tribute to Maxime Dahan, entitled “Clusters and Condensates at the Cell Membrane”, will take place from November 30 to December 1, 2026, at Institut Curie in Paris.
The symposium will focus on phase separation, size regulation of membrane domains, biophysical aspects of membrane dynamics, as well as biochemical interactions within cells and at membranes.
As the previous editions, this symposium is held in memory of Maxime Dahan, a pioneering biophysicist who passed away in 2018. It will bring together scientists from diverse disciplines to share their work and to continue his legacy in this exciting field of research at the interface of molecular cell biology and biophysics.
Registration is free but mandatory, please fill out the [form] by November 10, 2026.
There will be three sessions of selected short talks. To be considered, please submit an abstract to aida.fakhr@curie.fr by September 30, 2026.
The symposium will also be the occasion to award the Maxime Dahan Prize for Innovation in Methods and Instrumentation at the Interface of Physics, Biology & Medicine.
