6th Australian Developmental Biology Workshop
24 Oct 2010
The workshop aims to promote the discipline of Developmental
Biology by providing students and scientists that are actively working
in this research field with the chance to gain knowledge and practical
skills in the discipline. It is an intimate and highly-interactive
meeting that allows unparalleled access to world leaders in
Developmental Biology for scientists at all levels of their career.
The
workshop will consist of in-depth plenary research talks by high
profile international speakers, round table discussions on experimental
approaches, analysis of model systems, and broad career issues for
Developmental Biologists.
The number of participants is strictly limited
to 24.
A mix of students, post docs, and lab leaders will be selected
on the basis of:
- demonstrated interest in Developmental Biology
- track record
- perceived benefit they will obtain from the
workshop.
Applications must comprise:
- a one page cover letter addressing the above criteria
- applicant’s CV (maximum of
three pages)
Cost of the meeting will comprise the accommodation costs of the delegate only and there will be no registration fee. The accommodation cost will be around $800 per delegate for the three nights of the meeting full board.

Invited Speakers
Margaret Buckingham (Institut Pasteur, France)
An expert in the application of mouse biology to dissect the genetic control of Skeletal and Cardiac muscle formation. Her laboratory has identified many of the key regulatory genes which direct a cell into the myogenic program.
Stephen Cohen (TLL, Singapore)
A renowned Drosophila developmental geneticist, who undertook ground-breaking studies in the field of microRNAs with universal impact on understanding gene regulation.
Austin Smith (University of Cambridge, U.K.)
A world leader in the area of embryonic stem cell research. His laboratory has characterised many of the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing formation, self-renewal, and differentiation of pluripotent and tissue-restricted stem cells.
