Epigenetic Mechanisms Across Scales: From Molecules to Environment and Evolution
Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology
There will be a one-day satellite symposium on Developmental Bioelectricity, immediately before the 78th Annual SDB Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts this summer. Individuals registered for the Annual SDB Meeting can attend this symposium without paying an additional registration fee.
This conference will be co-organized by Ken Birnbaum (US) and Jill Harrison (UK) to bring together the international plant development community, foster collaboration and identify emerging research themes.

A Scientific Discussion Meeting from The Royal Society
Connecting leading developers of imaging methods with cutting edge applications that illustrate how imaging can answer biological questions. We emphasise on methods that capture the dynamics of life, spanning the whole range from molecular resolution to imaging of whole organisms.
The Brain Mosaic aims to bring together leaders in this emerging discipline to discuss how it is advancing our knowledge of CNS function and disease. Speakers at this neuroscience meeting on ‘single cell’ will emphasize the multi-disciplinary nature of the field.
Exploring the diverse, dynamic and multifaceted roles of RNA across a spectrum of cellular processes. Interdisciplinary discussion of the roles of non-coding RNAs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of gene regulation and function.
Discussion topics will include:
Abstract submission deadline: May 13, 2019
In this meeting we will explore the role of narrative in the communication of science. What does narrative in contemporary fiction have to say about the human dimension of science? Are its practitioners villains or heroes, stereotypes or multidimensional characters?
The 10th meeting of the Latin American Society for Developmental Biology
This conference covers presentations from cancer genome projects, the areas of cancer functional genomics, systems biology, cancer immunogenomics and epigenomics, cancer mouse models and the translation and clinical impact of scientific results obtained.
Submission deadline: September 29
Registration deadline: October 18
This year’s conference will cover a broad spectrum of epigenomic discoveries, opportunities, and also challenges, in human normal biology and in disease and discuss and discuss epigenomic approaches in common human diseases.
Epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) research bridges development and cancer. TEMTIA9 will be held on Nov.11-14, 2019 (Kumamoto, Japan). We have exciting speakers and many open oral presentation slots, with support from the Company of Biologists. For details please visit http://www.emtmeeting.org.

Celebrating 100 years of genetics in Edinburgh and the Genetics Society in the UK
Annual Fall conference, featuring undergraduate DevBio research: DBNY2019. Along with talks & posters, will have a keynote speaker and a career panel discussing options after college.
The symposium will focus in particular on how metabolites and metabolic networks impact gene regulation, on recently discovered roles of metabolites in disease and how this open novel therapeutic avenues.
This meeting connects researchers based in academia and industry to focus on the opportunities and challenges for genomics in drug discovery. Covering multi-omics, epidemiology, molecular biology and computational approaches, focusing on the contributions of these methods to target validation.
Abstract Deadline: September 27, 2019
Organizers: Guo-li Ming, Sergiu Pasca
This meeting aims to present the most recent advances in the mechanistic understanding of DNA metabolic processes at the single-molecule level, using both in vivo and in vitro approaches.
Bringing together leading figures in nuclear receptor research, to discuss emerging roles and their implications for health and disease in an intimate meeting that will generate meaningful idea exchange to further shape this influential field.
Talks will cover a broad range of topics, including chromosome organisation, long-range interactions, chromatin assembly, stem cell regulation/differentiation, RNA-based mechanisms, transcription regulation, DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation.
This meeting will bring together academic and industry scientists and clinicians working on developing and implementing gene therapy and cell-based therapy for a wide variety of conditions.
This meeting will bring together experts and pioneers in studying neuroepigenetics and epitranscriptomics to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of epigenetic and epitranscriptomic mechanisms in neural development, reprogramming and cell identity, plasticity, neuronal function and dysfunction.
This unique conference brings together multiple international research communities around common topics, including developmental genetics. Share your work with the C. elegans, Drosophila, mammalian, yeast, Xenopus, zebrafish, population, evolutionary, and quantitative genetics communities, along with those researching humans and plants.
The conference will provide a comprehensive backdrop to the basic principles behind Epigenetic and cross-reference to their relevance to disease. Sessions include; Chromatin, RNA and DNA regulatory pathways and a separate session on recent developments in drug discovery from Pharma.
The meeting will explore bacterial pathogens and pathogenesis from multiple perspectives, from cellular mechanisms to interbacterial interactions and community behavior, as well as pathogenesis in the complex milieu of the microbiota.
This conference will provide a forum for discussion on the past, present, and future of animal models for cancer, in particular the role that these models will play in the era of precision medicine.
This meeting will appeal to Molecular/Cell Biologists/Geneticists & Biochemists interested in genome stability. Researchers interested in the molecular basis of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and ageing and those with an interest in high throughput genetic and pharmacological screening methods.
