Short Course: GENE REGULATORY NETWORKS FOR DEVELOPMENT

Applications are still being invited for this exciting course, to be given at MBL October 12-24, 2014.

This is the 7^th edition of an advanced Course oriented around the central conceptual foci of the field. Gene regulatory networks lie at the conceptual nexus of development, evolution and functional regulatory genomics. The Course is open to graduate students, postdocs, PIs or anyone else who might profit from a fast moving treatment of this new field. The Network Course provides an intense experience, which includes lectures, discussions, and seminars with a prominent interdisciplinary Faculty; modeling and topological network problems; and student presentations. The Course covers structure and function of genomically encoded gene networks controlling many different developmental processes, in vertebrate, Drosophila, and sea urchin model systems.. The Course is supported by NICHD, and has drawn rave reviews in all of its previous six incarnations. This year’s stellar Faculty:

Scott Barolo, University of Michigan
James Briscoe, MRC National Institute for Medical Research, London
Marianne Bronner, Caltech
Arthur Lander, University of California Irvine
Bill Longabaugh, Institute for Systems Biology
Rob Phillips, Caltech
