The 14th ENOR Meeting – Oslo 2025
The 14th meeting of the European Network for Oxysterol Research (ENOR) took place on 18–19 September 2025 at Oslo Science Park.
Day one opened with a plenary lecture by Professor Yuqin Wang (Swansea University), who gave an inspiring talk on “Oxysterols in Human Health and Diseases”. The talk took us through the challenges and opportunities of sterolomics, which is also seeing growing success in spatial analysis with e.g. mass spectrometry imaging. This set the stage for two days filled with high-quality science, lively discussions, and new collaborations.
Across the sessions, participants presented exciting work ranging from cutting-edge analytical methods to disease-focused studies in areas like neurodegeneration, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer biology, and immunology. The program also highlighted the versatility of oxysterol research, spanning from plant sterols to human plasma and from fundamental signaling mechanisms to clinical applications.
Day two opened with the lecture by Professor Philip Beachy (Stanford University), a pioneer in developmental signaling, who shared groundbreaking insights into “Cholesterol and Oxysterols in Hedgehog Signaling”. His perspective connected sterol biology to development, regeneration, and disease in a way that deeply resonated with the ENOR community.
The meeting also provided a strong platform for early-career researchers, with many excellent talks and posters that sparked stimulating conversations during breaks and the conference dinner. Hannah Nudds (University College London) won the Best Oral Presentation; First Runner Up was Ljerka Delac (Karolinska Institute). Best Poster Presentation was won by Clara Hennot (Université Claude Bernard Lyon), with Chuan-Xun Wang (University College London) as First Runner Up. Congratulations!
In addition to the rich scientific program, ENOR 2025 was a warm and collegial gathering—true to the spirit of our network. Longstanding members and new faces alike enjoyed the opportunity to exchange ideas, strengthen collaborations, and plan the future of oxysterol research together.
We warmly thank all speakers, participants, and sponsors for making this meeting such a success. We look forward to reading about work presented at ENOR 2025 in a special issue that will be published in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
We look forward to seeing the community grow further and to continuing the ENOR tradition in the years to come. See you next time in Stockholm, Sweden, this time hosted by Silvia Maioli and her team at Karolinska Institute.
