The meeting goal brings together researchers from diverse disciplines who investigate maternal-fetal factors shaping pregnancy outcomes by exploring how these systems work together or are at odds.
We welcome the submission of abstracts for original contributions in the following topics (deadline July 31st):
This course offers an in-depth treatment of experimental and computational modeling approaches to gene regulatory networks, and explores how the GRN concept can be applied to solve developmental mechanisms in various systems and contexts.
Application deadline: July 20, 2017.
The 2017 Champalimaud Research Symposium will happen in Lisbon, Portugal from 9th-11th October. The Symposium focuses on modern physiology in development, ageing, immunity and cancer, bridging cutting edge biology with disease oriented research, and features keynote lecturer Professor Bob Horvitz.
This workshop belongs to the series Workshops “Current Trends in Biomedicine”, organized by the Universidad Internacional de Andalucía (UNIA).

European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy Annual Congress
Keynote speakers: Christopher Baum and Nathalie Cartier
Award lecturers: Jef Boeke and Malcolm Brenner
The symposium will focus on recent advances and state-of-the-art techniques directed at understanding functionalities found in biological systems that stem from the morphology and the form of the constituents.
A limited number of travel fellowships will be made available to younger scientists fro abroad.
Registration Deadline: Thursday, August 31, 2017
The symposium focuses on understanding functionalities found in biological systems that stem from the morphology and the form of the constituents, emphasizing the different length scales: from the molecular, to cellular, to tissue level and evolutionary aspects of morphogenesis.
This training course is provided by the Royal Society of Biology.
