Symposium in Developmental Biology

Mark your calendars! Next fall's Symposium in Developmental Biology will be held Tuesday, September 25 and Wednesday, September 26, 2007 in Coffman Memorial Union on the Minneapolis campus. The Symposium is entitled "Cells Doing Development". As the title implies, this year's event will feature key cell biological processes that underlie developmental events. Session topics will include:

Cell migration
Signal reception
Processing and trafficking
Cellular mechanisms for generating asymmetry
Cytoskeletal functions in development

Scheduled platform speakers so far include:

Kathryn Anderson (Sloan-Kettering) - Signaling and cilia in mouse development
Frank Gertler (MIT) - Neuronal cell migration in mammals
Bob Goldstein (University of North Carolina) - Actin cytoskeleton and cellular asymmetry in C. elegans
Caroline Hill (London Research Institute) - Signal trafficking/ nuclear transport/ microtubule cytoskeleton in vertebrate cell signaling
Jean Schwarzbauer (Princeton) - Gonad cell migration in C. elegans
Jurgen Knoblich (IMB-Vienna) - Endosomal pathway and signal reception in Drosophila

This year's Symposium Committee consists of:

We look forward to seeing you there!
