Developmental Biology GRC 2027: Organizing Principles of Growth, Form, and Regeneration
Developmental Biology and Regenerative Medicine conference by Gordon Research Conferences
About
Examine the principles connecting growth, form and regeneration across organisms. The programme integrates genetics, experiments, theory and computation to investigate gene-regulatory networks, tissue morphogenesis, cell-fate decisions and developmental pathways in disease. Stem-cell models, imaging, omics and biophysical models support discussion of how developmental mechanisms can inform tissue repair and biomedical applications. Talks, posters and discussion connect shared mechanisms across experimental systems.
17–22 January: check-in begins Sunday at 14:00, with scientific introductions at 19:30; departure is Friday at 09:00. Times: Europe/Rome (CET, UTC+01:00). Apply by 20 December through myGRC; apply by 15 November for oral-presentation consideration. Acceptance is selective and capacity limited. Applicants need a science/engineering bachelor’s degree or accepted equivalent; undergraduates are ineligible. Fees: US$1,780 single room, US$1,460 shared room or US$990 off-site. The associated GRS requires a separate application.
