Self-Organization in Biology: Freiburg Spemann-Mangold Centennial Symposium
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of scientific advances rooted in Hilde Mangold’s and Hans Spemann’s discovery of the gastrula organizer in vertebrate development, published in 1924 and awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1935.
Dates:16-19 September 2024
Location: University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany
Meeting goal: It builds a bridge to today’s molecular and cellular understanding self-organization in developing systems, including gastrulation, stem cell organoids, morphogen gradients, invertebrate systems, Evo-Devo, and emerging fields deriving from the discovery of embryonic induction.
Abstracts for talks and posters are invited on the following topics:
History of the organizer and of self-organizing systems
The gastrula organizer
Gastrulation cell behavior
Pattern formation
Signaling pathways in self-organizing systems
Self-organization in morphogenesis
Evo-Devo
Organizing organoids and gastruloids
From stem cells to synthetic organizers
Self-organization in development
Plant organizers They should be submitted using the online abstract submission system.
Abstract Submission Deadline: 3 May 2024
Registration and Meeting Website
In-person participation in the symposium is encouraged, and, if registration numbers exceed symposium capacity, we may preferentially admit registrations with abstract submissions. A limited number of submitted abstracts will be selected for short talks, therefore please indicate if you wish to present an oral presentation.
