Mammalian Genetics and Development Workshop
Posted by Andrew Ward, on 2 November 2011
THE MAMMALIAN GENETICS AND DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP
A meeting of the Genetics Society
Venue: UCL Institute of Child Health, 30 Guilford Street, London WC1N 1EH
Date: November 17th 2011.
Organisers: Nick Greene, Andrew Ward & Andrew Copp
The Mammalian Genetics and Development Workshop is an annual meeting covering any aspects of the genetics and development of mammals. Meetings are based on the submitted abstracts, and usually include diverse topics ranging from early mammalian development (not exclusively human or mouse), imprinting and identification of disease genes to human population genetics and association studies. In recent years, presentations on other model systems (such as chick and zebrafish) have also been included where these relate to general developmental questions or disease models.
The meeting is traditionally a venue for post-docs and PhD students to talk rather than laboratory heads and so is an excellent training ground and a friendly, informal forum.
Registration
A £10 registration fee is payable by all attendees on arrival at the meeting. This fee entitles registrants to attend all of the scientific sessions, and to receive the abstract booklet plus tea and
coffee refreshments on both days. Speakers and chairpersons will be provided with lunch, free of charge, on the day of their presentation. Other participants will be expected to make their own arrangements for lunch. There will also be a wine reception on the first day of the meeting.
Abstract Submission
All Workshop presentations will be in lecture format . If you would like to present a paper at the Workshop at this year’s meeting, please e-mail your abstract to the following address: mgd.workshop@ich.ucl.ac.uk by Friday 4th Nov*, specifying your preference for a 15 or 30 min slot. *Due to the late notice there will be some leeway on this closing date for readers of the Node provided you let us know your abstract is coming!
With the authors’ permission, abstracts will be published in Genetical Research.
