About this event
Metabolism and cellular mechanics are closely intertwined. Following the success of the 1st international symposium connecting physics and metabolism in brain functions (Barcelona, July 2024), we are pleased to welcome you in Paris for this 2nd edition. This event will bring together world experts in physics, chemistry, neurobiology, and philosophy with the aim of fostering new collaborations and promoting the so-called “night science”, an interdisciplinary approach by which new ideas arise and questions/ hypotheses are generated. Join us and interact with prestigious speakers who will discuss the physics of cellular trafficking, neurotransmission, sensory systems, and beyond. The symposium will also integrate musical pieces to deepen our quest for understanding the living.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the symposium will be broadcast live, allowing a broader audience to participate remotely.
The symposium explores the intersection between physics, metabolism, and brain functions, bringing together experts in physics, chemistry, neurobiology, and philosophy to foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
The symposium is aimed at professionals and academics from various disciplines interested in the intersection of physics and neurometabolsim. Attendees include physicians, biologists, physicists, neurologists geneticists, and biochemists and people interested in metabolic field.
The event will be held on November 7, 2025, at the Paris Brain Institute, Paris, France.
The event is organized by Prof. Fanny Mochel (ICM & Sorbonne University, Paris) and Prof. Angeles García-Cazorla (SJD & University of Barcelona).
€20 for online participation €30 for in-person attendance
The deadline for registration is October 31, 2025 at 23:59 (Paris time, CET, UTC+1).
No, there are no discounts available for students or early registration for this event.
The Paris Brain Institute is located in the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris. Public transport options include metro, bus, and RER.
The event is likely to be conducted in English, given the international nature of the speakers and participants.
