• The biology of stem cells – embryonic, fetal and adult systems
• Plasticity, epigenetic regulation, signaling and niche
• Clinical applications and clinical trials
• Ethics and patents in stem cell research
• Public engagement and research communication

Mouse Molecular Genetics
(conference) We are pleased to announce that the 26th annual Mouse Molecular Genetics meeting will be held at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, from 18 to 21 September 2013. This meeting is a leading forum for researchers who apply genetics and genomics techniques to address fundamental issues in mammalian biology, including stem cell biology, development, epigenetics and models of human disease. The meeting invites leaders in these areas to present unpublished research findings, encourages junior investigators to participate in oral and poster presentations and provides a stimulating environment for the exchange of ideas. The programme will showcase the latest technical developments in genetics and engineering of the mouse genome and this year will also feature a new session devoted to cancer. Topics will include: Organogenesis Technology Stem cells and germ cells Patterning Genetics and genomics Human disease Epigenetics Cancer Scientific programme committee: Allan Bradley Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, UK Kat Hadjantonakis Sloan-Kettering Institute, USA Yumiko Saga National Institute of Genetics, Japan Philippe Soriano Mount Sinai School of Medicine, USA We welcome abstracts from areas relevant to mammalian molecular genetics. Several oral presentations will be chosen from the abstracts submitted Further information and a list of invited speakers will be available shortly.
