Since the discovery of their signaling functions over 35 years ago, research efforts into sphingolipids have grown and now represent a community of labs and scientists from around the world. The goal of this site is to serve as a central hub for the sphingolipid community – providing space to present research, exchange ideas, and advertise career opportunities. We also want to use this site as a way to promote lipid research and increase our visibility in the wider scientific community, as well as to inspire researchers in other fields to think about lipids in their own studies. In this spirit, we encourage you to spread the word.

WEBINARS

In light of the COVID pandemic, which led to the suspension of in-person conferences, it has become evident that PIs, postdocs, and graduate students were missing crucial opportunities to showcase their work on local, national, and international platforms. This reality prompted the conception of a virtual platform where new scientific achievements could be disseminated to a worldwide audience.

As we navigate through the post-COVID era, almost four years since its onset, we remain committed to maintaining webinars as a valuable alternative. These webinars serve as an enduring platform for the scientific community to communicate, ensuring that researchers at all levels can present their work. This virtual platform plays a pivotal role in democratizing access to knowledge, breaking down geographical barriers, and fostering a global exchange of ideas. By providing a consistent and accessible avenue for presentations, our webinars become a ground for knowledge dissemination, and the establishment of networks within the scientific community. This platform not only bridges the gaps created by the absence of traditional conferences but also amplifies the inclusivity and diversity of voices contributing to the advancement of scientific research. As we look ahead, the significance of this virtual stage cannot be overstated in shaping the future landscape of collaborative and boundary-pushing scientific endeavors.

Dear colleagues and friends,
 

The last four decades of research have firmly established sphingolipids as dynamic regulators of cellular functions with profound links to human health and disease. The advent of new technologies has dramatically expanded the sphingolipid universe and further illuminated the far-reaching impact of sphingolipids in physiology and pathology. Building on this, the 2025 FEBS Special Meeting on Sphingolipid Biology: Breaking Boundaries in a joint venture with the 13th International Ceramide Conference, will provide a unique forum to hear the latest developments in sphingolipid research, and hopes to catalyze collaborative efforts that transcend traditional boundaries

In this 3rd edition of SLBiol Special Meeting scientific sessions and round-table discussions moderated by leading scientists, together with poster and oral communications from established, early-stage career scientists and students, will provide the ideal setting for networking and close interaction between speakers and participants.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Varna, Bulgaria!
