2015 Gordon Research Conference on Developmental Biology

Announcing the GRC on Developmental Biology


The Patterns that Shape Our Bodies, from Cellular Organization to Transgenerational Inheritance

June 21-26, 2015 Mount Holyoke College South Hadley, MA USA 

Spread the word: print/post the flyer.

Connect with fellow scientists to discuss the frontiers of this scientific field in Air-Conditioned comfort (dorm, lectures, posters, dining)!

Developmental Biology lies at the crossroads of all the Life Sciences, integrating investigations at molecular, cellular, tissue and organismal levels. The 2015 Gordon Conference on Developmental Biology will present the most recent, cutting-edge research in the field. A portion of each session time has been kept uncommitted to choose speakers from abstracts submitted by the participants, particularly junior investigators. Because progress in Developmental Biology depends on cross-fertilization of ideas from complementary organisms, presentations will include studies in standard invertebrates such as Drosophila and C. elegans, classic vertebrate models including zebrafish, Xenopus and the mouse, as well as plants, non-standard animals and humans.
 

The detailed program will be available in early March. Please check the GRC site for updates.
