The 29th Mammalian Genetics and Development Workshop
Posted by the Node, on 9 October 2018
A meeting of the Genetics Society on 29th November 2018 at the UCL Institute of Child Health, London.
Organisers: Nick Greene (UCL), Cynthia Andoniadou (KCL), Andy Copp (UCL)
Abstract submission deadline: 5pm, 8th November
The Mammalian Genetics and Development Workshop is an annual meeting focusing on the development and genetics of mammals. The Meeting is based on the submitted abstracts, and include diverse topics ranging from mammalian development (not exclusively human or mouse) and identification of disease genes and developmental mechanisms, to human genetics and epigenetics. Other model systems (including Drosophila, zebrafish and chick) are also welcomed where these relate to general developmental questions and/or disease models.
The meeting will be similar format to the 28th Meeting in 2017, which had a fantastic set of short talks covering various aspects of developmental biology, mouse models of human disorders and genetics of human disease (abstracts are published at https://doi.org/10.1017/S0016672317000076)
The workshop is traditionally a venue for post-docs and PhD students to talk rather than laboratory heads and is an excellent training ground and a friendly, informal forum. In keeping with this objective, we offer TWO PRIZES of £150 to individual post-graduate/post-doctoral presenters. In addition, thanks to the generosity of Mammalian Genome (https://link.springer.com/journal/335) publishers, we will offer an additional PRIZE of £150.
Registration: A £10 registration fee is payable by all attendees on arrival at the meeting. This fee covers the abstract booklet, tea and coffee refreshments and the wine reception. Speakers and chairpersons will be provided with lunch, free of charge, on the day of their presentation.
Abstract Submission: All Workshop presentations will be in lecture format (15 or 20 minutes). Please send your abstract by e-mail (Word or rtf file) to ich.mgdwshop@ucl.ac.uk by 5pm on 8th November. In addition please indicate the length of talk you prefer.
Abstract format is as follows: Title (bold), AUTHORS (ALL CAPS), Address (italics) and text (200 word limit). Abstracts will be published (with the authors’ permission) in Genetics Research (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/genetics-research).
