Organelle interactions are critical for cell and tissue function, and crosstalk between networks is required to properly join metabolic pathways compartmentalized within distinct organelles. Dysregulated organelle networks are increasingly implicated in cell dysfunction and disease mechanisms, including inflammation. For example, lysosomal dysfunction can perturb mitochondrial activity, leading to metabolic impairment and the release of alarmins/damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that trigger inflammatory signaling cascades. This interdisciplinary meeting will bring together experts working on organelle biology, metabolism, immunity, metabolic and neurologic diseases, and aging to advance understanding of organelle communication mechanisms in homeostatic and pathological settings.
Interactive talks and panel discussions will cover the following topics:
• Mitochondria-Endosome-Lysosome Crosstalk and Quality Control
• Mitochondria-Endoplasmic Reticulum Contacts
• Organelle Crosstalk in DNA Damage Responses
• Organelles in Innate Immune Signaling
• Organelle Dynamics in Anti-Pathogen Immunity
• Organelle Communication in Metabolic and Inflammatory Diseases and Aging
• Organelle Communication in Neurological Disorders and Neurodegeneration
• Cell biologists studying organelle dynamics in physiology and disease
• Researchers interested in mitochondrial biology and mitochondria-mediated inflammation
• Immunologists studying organelle control of innate immunity and inflammatory signaling
• Clinicians and translational biologists interested in organelle crosstalk in human diseases and aging
Despite growing appreciation for inter-organelle communication in health and disease, there are few avenues for researchers to come together and develop a wholistic understanding of organelle crosstalk in biology and disease. The goal of this meeting is to stimulate the cross-fertilization of ideas between scientists working in diverse areas of organelle biology, inflammation, and disease to nucleate new collaborations and shape research questions in this rapidly advancing field. Moreover, this meeting will be an exceptional opportunity for students, postdocs, and junior group leaders to meet leading researchers in various fields (i.e. organelle dynamics, mitochondrial biology, innate immunity, metabolic disease, aging, etc), while building mentoring networks and receiving feedback on their ongoing work.

We are excited to be visiting this beautiful Mediterranean destination in autumn 2025 – the Hilton Malta in St Julian’s, Malta. The oceanfront resort overlooks the stunning Portomaso Marina in St. Julian’s.
This beautiful hotel is located only 15 minutes from the ancient capital city of Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso’s Cave – The Maltese Islands are positively mythic. As the countryside is dotted with medieval towers, wayside chapels and the oldest known human structures in the world, the Islands have rightly been described as an open-air museum.
This is not an all-inclusive property, but we have arranged a full food and beverage package for delegates during the conference period which is included within the registration fee. Breakfast will be at leisure each morning, but participants will dine together for conference lunches and dinners. For anyone staying any extra nights, the rate will be bed and breakfast only so delegates can choose whether to dine at the hotel or explore and eat elsewhere.
Hotel facilities include;
• Complimentary Wi-Fi in guest rooms and throughout hotel and conference areas
• 4 Seasonal Outdoor Pools
• Spa with Indoor Swimming Pool
• Fitness Center and Tennis Court
• 3 Restaurants
• 2 Bars

The hotel is approximately 20 minutes from Malta International Airport, the official airport of the Maltese Islands.
Taxis are available outside the airport, however we would strongly recommend you use one of the transport app providers below.
There are 3 options for booking transport with an app- Uber, Bolt and eCabs. They all operate in and around Malta, and the fares are generally cheaper than a taxi. The cost of transfers between Malta International Airport and the city of St Julians generally ranges from €15 to €20.
