This year’s Cytoskeletal Club will be held on 21-23 September 2026 at the Liblice Castle, as a joint meeting with the Topical Partner Cluster “Cytoskeletal Dynamics Across Scales” of the Dresden International Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Life Sciences (DIGS-ILS).

The 31th Cytoskeletal Club is organized by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IMG) and the Dresden International Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Life Sciences (DIGS-ILS). The meeting will consist of plenary talks given by invited speakers. Additional oral presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts, with the emphasis on PhD students and Post-Docs.

The 31th Cytoskeletal Club aims at bringing together the cytoskeletal communities from Prague and Dresden. The topic is focused – but not limited – to any biological and biophysical aspect of cytoskeleton function: cell division, signalling, motility, structure, biophysical characteristics etc. It is traditionally a three-day meeting full of informal talks and discussion about the latest work from labs with an interest in the cytoskeleton.

We look forward seeing you in Liblice.
