The Exocytosis-Endocytosis Club is a non-profit organization, without funding or membership fees.
It brings together nearly 340 researchers, teachers, and students working in various fields of cellular and molecular biology.
Research areas
Exocytosis
Process by which cells expel materials (e.g., proteins, RNA, neurotransmitters, viruses) by fusing intracellular vesicles with the plasma membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell.
Endocytosis
Process by which cells internalize external compounds by engulfing them in vesicles (endosomes) formed from the plasma membrane, bringing compounds into the cell.
Intracellular trafficking
Movement of vesicles and molecules within a cell, often involving transport between organelles (e.g., Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi, lysosomes, endosomes, secretory vesicles) to ensure proper distribution and function of cellular components.
Membrane dynamics
Study of how cellular membranes change shape, composition, and organization, including processes like fusion, fission, and remodeling, which are essential for cell functions.
Microscopies
Set of techniques used to visualize and study structures and processes at the microscopic level, including light and fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, and advanced methods like super-resolution imaging.
Latest publications

Broca Center, Bordeaux The Club's Thesis Prize
As part of its commitment to scientific research, the Exo-Endo club wishes to support doctoral students and their work in the field of membrane trafficking.
Support young researchers
Each year, the Club Exocytose-Endocytose awards a prize for the best thesis defended in the field of membrane trafficking. The winner receives 700 € and an invitation (free registration) to present her or his work at the annual meeting of the Club Exocytose-Endocytose.
