Conferences and symposiums Blueprints of Life: Cell fate choices and lineages
23-05-2025 5:00 pm Add to iCal
Dive into the fascinating world of cell fate decisions that underlie the variety of cell types in our bodies. Join top researchers in the field to uncover the blueprints of life!
Join us for an engaging two-day conference exploring groundbreaking topics, including the regulation and dynamics of cell fate decisions in development, the impact of stem cell heterogeneity on cancer, and innovative approaches to reconstructing and analyzing cell lineages.
Showcase your research: There will be a poster session, and we have available spots for short talks. Submit your abstract for consideration by April 22nd, 2025! Register to attend by May 8th, 2025. No registration fees apply, but there are limited places.
