EMBL Symposium Synthetic Morphogenesis: From Gene Circuits to Tissue Architecture
Conference
Date: 17-Mar-2019 to 20-Mar-2019
Morphogenesis,
the generation of shape, is a topic of considerable interest in basic research
with important implications in biomedicine. Across scales, from subcellular
structures to multicellular systems shape is intimately linked with function.
While traditional genetic approaches have allowed the identification of key
components controlling individual morphogenetic processes, recent advances in
synthetic biology are opening the possibility to engineer gene circuits, signal
systems, and biomaterials to not only probe morphogenesis but also to
re-construct it and direct it (synthetic morphogenesis).
Dates: 17 - 20 Mar 2019
