Deconstructing and reconstructing embryonic development
Welcome to the ASHBi Workshop “Deconstructing and reconstructing embryonic development”
We are pleased to host ASHBi Workshop on “Deconstructing and reconstructing embryonic development” on March 13, 2023.
Recent advances in bottom-up model systems of embryonic development provide a welcome and synergistic addition to classical embryo model systems. They range from stem cell-based models of pre-, peri- and post-gastrulation development to novel models of human and animal morphogenesis and tissue formation. Our workshop at ASHBi brings together leading national & international experts who are working in this rapidly emerging and exciting new field at the crossroads of developmental biology and stem cell research.
If you have any interest in the topic, you are welcome to attend this workshop.
