Embryology: Concepts & Techniques in Modern Developmental Biology
In-Person Event
Jun 08 - Jul 21, 2018
Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA
OVERVIEW
Embryology: Concepts & Techniques in Modern Developmental Biology is organized by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) and will be held during Jun 08 - Jul 21, 2018 at Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and more senior researchers who seek a broad and balanced view of modern issues in developmental biology.
Conference Description :
The Embryology Course offers integrated lectures and laboratories that comprehensively cover the paradigms, problems, and technologies of modern developmental biology cast within a comparative framework of metazoan evolution. This course has a rich history of shaping the field with six students and eight faculties becoming Nobel Laureates, and many others being prominent leaders and pioneers. Students are exposed to a wide variety of embryonic systems including well established and intensively studied models, both genetic and experimental.
This wide coverage of metazoan phylogeny allows for a close examination of developmental strategies and mechanisms that drive evolutionary change. Hands-on analytical and experimental techniques used to explore invertebrate and vertebrate development involve embryological manipulation (e.g., cell ablation, tissue grafting) as well as molecular genetic (e.g., RNAi, electroporation) and cell biological approaches (e.g., analysis of cell lineage and migratory behavior). Students will apply cutting-edge microscopy and imaging technologies (e.g., confocal and 3D time-lapse) using state-of-the-art instrumentation, reagents, and methods. Conceptual topics include cell specification and differentiation, pattern formation, embryonic axis formation, morphogenesis, intercellular signaling, transcriptional regulation, organogenesis, regeneration, evolutionary developmental biology, and comparative embryology.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
