EMBO Workshop: Morphogen Gradients
Posted by James Briscoe, on 4 March 2013
We are pleased to announce that an EMBO Workshop on Morphogen Gradients will be held in Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, UK from 26 – 29th June 2013.
Registration is now open:

The goal of this workshop is to bring together biologists, physicists and imaging specialists to discuss how morphogen gradients are generated and interpreted. After 20 years of molecular and genetic studies, the morphogen field has recently begun to use quantitative and biophysical approaches. These studies have led to surprisingly diverse findings and conclusions. For example, different modes of morphogen transport have been proposed and different ways of morphogen interpretation have been suggested.
The workshop aims to discuss the current status of the field and to seek input from other systems to stimulate new directions. Major emphasis will be placed on current debates in the field and the technical and theoretical developments that will address these issues. A broad range of speakers from both biological and physical sciences will ensure that the major systems and approaches in the field are covered.
In addition to the 21 invited speakers, an additional 10 speakers will be chosen from abstracts.
