1996 Santa Cruz Summer Conference on Developmental Biology
June 28-July 3, 1996, University of California, Santa Cruz
The rapid pace of discovery in developmental biology in the past decade has resulted in the finding that critical developmental processes are often strikingly conserved across tissues and organisms, so that insights obtained in any one system can fuel advances in other systems. The major goal of this conference is to promote communication among workers in diverse ares of developmental biology to facilitate rapid research progress.
The conference can accommodate about 150 applicants in addition to the 42 invited speakers.
Sessions Include:
| Oogenesis and Body Axis Formation
| Evolution of Developmental Mechanisms |
| Patterning the early embryo
| Plant Development |
| Determination and Switching of Cell Fate
| Activity Dependent Events in Neural Circuits |
| Cell Polarity, Migration, and Axon Migration
| Organogenesis |
| Special Session: Late-Breaking Developments
|
Organizers Kathryn Anderson and Marc Tessier-Lavigne.
