Report
The inaugural Fusion conference on ‘Membrane Contact Sites’ was held at the Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun, Mexico, 08 – 11 Feb 2024. The meeting was attended by 52 registrants.
The research topic covered by this conference is the burgeoning area of cell biology that investigates the intracellular formation of contacts between organellar membranes. These membrane contacts had been dismissed as artifacts for a long time but research between 1990 and 2000 on lipid transfer between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, as well as the transfer of Ca2+ between these two organelles proved their existence and clear function(s). Since those early days, membrane contacts have been shown to exist between virtually any organelle, each with their distinct functions. The conference was initiated by the organizers to recognize this vast array of membrane contact types and their individual, wide-ranging significance for disease. The conference included presentations covering contacts between the ER, endosomes, lipid droplets, lysosomes, nucleus, and mitochondria. Speakers showcased the diverse functions of these contacts for neurons, liver, and muscle, using yeast, fly, zebrafish and human model systems and their role in cancer, neurodegeneration, liver disease and infection. Several speakers and poster presenters highlighted novel tools to visualize these contact sites. Remarkably, all the presentations showcased unpublished results, providing an excellent basis for the formal and informal scientific discussions that were held in the conference room as well as during the informal discussion time.
A special focus of the meeting was the inclusion of junior investigators, some of which will establish their labs later this year, but also of established researchers who have entered the field only recently. Poster and short talk prizes were sponsored by Fusion and the journal “Contact” (SAGE Publishing), which covers this topic. A review series on the conference is forthcoming this year and will be published by “Contact”. The conference featured 22 long talks and 11 short talks, each of outstanding quality. The poster session and all common dinners were very well attended and led to many new scientific collaborations.
A highlight of the meeting were of course the magnificent beach and pool facilities, which further promoted interaction between new and established researchers, as well as trainees in a non-formal environment. Everything was under the competent supervision of the Fusion conference team, and in particular Rosie Johnson the lead organiser. On the last evening, participants mingled on the beach dancefloor while being entertained by a highly skilled local band.
This meeting stands out from the other ones in the field because of its attention to newly established investigators and to the nascent areas of membrane contact sites biology that are less showcased in other meetings. We believe that these two aspects, combined with the relaxed environment that fosters scientific collaborations and discussions make this meeting unique and a must-attend for people in the field.
Due to this success, this conference will become a series under the guidance of Fusion, and we look forward to the next meeting in early 2026.

Synopsis
The research field of interorganelle contacts is one of the most rapidly growing areas of modern cell biology. It is becoming clear that many, if not all, organelles form membrane contact sites (MCS) with other components of the cell. The term ‘MCS’ broadly describes a physical interaction between two organelles, occurring at specialized subdomains of the given organelle and involved in multiple facets of the biology of the two organelles that are juxtaposed. MCS discovery forced cell biologists to reconsider the way organelles are studied, introducing the concept that heterotypic organelle interaction allows functions that individual organelles would otherwise be unable to perform and forcing them to think in terms of compartmentalized metabolism and signaling.
Key Sessions
- Tools to study MCS: from imaging to omics
- MCS components and regulators
- Transfer of second messengers at MCS
- Compartmentalized biochemical reactions at MCS
- MCS in organelle biology
- MCS in cell signalling
- MCS in disease

Location
Cancun is a delightful combination of natural beauty, islands, ecological reserves and white sandy beaches. However, besides sun, sand and sea, this destination also offers an infinite variety of underwater activities to choose from: the diving, snorkelling and fishing here are outstanding and you will find an undersea world packed with tropical fish that live on the second largest barrier reef in the world. Sports enthusiasts might choose one of the many eco-tourism activities, such as cycling or hiking through the tropical forest or kayaking through mangroves, or something a little more adventuresome, like zip lining through the treetops.
Apart from the more well-known ancient Mayan archealogical sites such as Tulum, Cobá and Chichén Itzá you may like to visit the Aktun Chen caverns, voted one of the Top 10 underwater walks by National Geographic described as a truly magical experience.

This will allow attendees to share return transfers with others who have similar flight times.
Cancun Airport Taxis
One way (Cancun Hotel Zone): $24.85+ (USD)
*subject to change, please check the Cancun International Airport website for a more accurate estimation for your trip.
Further information on Taxi services can be found on the Cancun International Airport website (see below link) along with some top tips for travellers from local experts and official authorities.
