We invite you to participate to the first European Amphibian Club
Recent innovations in genomics, imaging and in the Crispr/Cas9 technology renewed the value of amphibians as key organisms for both conceptual and medical advances in genetic and developmental diseases.
Situated on the banks of the Danube, with its beautiful art nouveau architecture, Budapest offers the perfect conference venue and tourist destination. We will also commemorate George Streisinger, the founder of zebrafish genetics, who was born here 90 years ago.
Chairs: Prof Ian Hickson (University of Copenhagen) & Dr Oscar Fernandez-Capetillo (CNIO)
Key Sessions include:
The University of Exeter’s new £52 million Living Systems Institute (LSI) is hosting its first international symposium on 5/6 July 2017.
The symposium will feature distinguished speakers, including two Nobel Laureates (Paul Nurse and Christiane Nusslein-Volhard).
We hope you can join us!
The symposium aims to unite the field of mechanobiology, by bringing together world-leading experts in the generation and sensing of forces from the molecular scale to the organismal scale.
Abstract deadline: 19 April 2017
The annual meeting of the Society for Craniofacial Genetics and Developmental Biology will feature talks from Drs. Philippe Soriano, Clare Baker, Brian Schutte, Craig Albertson, and Licia Silleri. Talks will also be selected from submitted abstracts.

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.
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.
