Emerging concepts in developmental biology
EMBL
EMBL Advanced Training Centre, Heidelberg, Germany
Abstract
This conference will take place at EMBL Heidelberg, with the option to attend virtually. The meeting will explore the dynamic interface of developmental biology with emerging technologies and transformative concepts to tackle fundamental questions on patterning, morphogenesis, cell differentiation, growth, organogenesis, regeneration, and evolution. Developmental biology is inherently interdisciplinary. It draws on insights from embryology, genetics, cell and molecular biology, biophysics, systems biology, multi-omics, evolutionary biology, and quantitative biology to unravel how organisms develop. These fields evolve rapidly, reshaping the research landscape and driving innovation. This new symposium seeks to highlight the cutting-edge methodological and conceptual breakthroughs redefining this field. The meeting will explore the dynamic i
