The DBSUMI meeting attracts a diverse group of scientists using marine invertebrates as experimental systems to ask fundamental questions in cell, developmental, and evolutionary biology in a broad phylogenetic context.
The annual meeting facilitates the establishment of scientific collaborations, and promotes education, research, and communication about normal and abnormal development of the tissues and organs of the head and face, with the ultimate goal of improving patient care.
This course provides training in several key tools, with a focus on good development practices that encourage efficient and reproducible research computing.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers from different fields to enhance our understanding of how organoids can be formed and mantained and how we might eventually use them to regenerate and replace human organ tissue.
Course with Dr Madeline Lancaster:
Learn how to make cerebral organoids.
Learn how to use cerebral organoids in your research.
This conference aims to provide a gathering opportunity for researchers of all levels who are interested in how gene regulation participates in the development and function of the brain, with particular attention to the chromatin-based regulation of gene expression.
From the Penn Institute for Regenerative Medicine – free and open to the public.
A virtual conference from the Wellcome Genome Campus
The main objective of this conference is to bring people together from diverse disciplines to exchange ideas, promote cross-disciplinary collaborations and to form a synthesis of appropriate systems-level approaches.

BioS(T)EM aims to:
Biomedical research is at a turning point. Single cell technologies are opening opportunities to address today’s medical challenges. These tools will enhance our molecular understanding of functional cell states to give us insights into when, how and why diseases arise.
This course will cover the basics, possibilities and limitations of different purification and characterisation techniques and will address strategies to understand their role in biomedical applications.

Postponed until 2021
This online joint meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) and the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) will focus on cell biology with sessions on emerging topics and opportunities for attendees to give virtual presentations on their research.
This conference will bring together experts and early stage researchers from the separate fields
Postponed until 2022
Rescheduled due to COVID-19
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.
A Virtual Workshop from The Company of Biologists.
Organisers: Kevin Chalut and Austin Smith
The conference will take place virtually over four days from 1 to 4 February 2021.
