About
Neural crest cells and cranial placodes share developmental and evolutionary origins while producing diverse tissues and sensory structures. The conference examines their roles in vertebrate development, regeneration and disease, including congenital abnormalities, cancer and sensory dysfunction.
Researchers will compare model organisms and experimental approaches, connecting genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic findings with cell behaviour and tissue formation. Discussion will focus on mechanisms of normal development and the origins of disorders when those processes fail. Attendance applications are reviewed and capacity may fill before the application deadline.
