The Developmental Biology Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS)
March 29, 2025 - April 4, 2025
Pomona, CA
The 2025 Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar in Developmental Biology will bring together an international community focusing on mechanisms that govern development and disease across diverse cell and animal systems with a special focus on the latest concepts and paradigms on acquisition of shapes and patterns in developmental systems from in vitro to in vivo systems, integrating physics, mathematics, and biological fields. 2025 GRC and GRS has been designed with an emphasis on exploring cell identity and acquisition of tissue shape, and pattern to govern organ function and organization in a wide variety of organisms and systems. The opening session will start with special lectures on gene regulation and fate specification designed to highlight the established paradigms and discuss emerging models that counter some of the paradigms in the field. Other sessions are on stem cell models, cell fate determination, metabolism, mechanics morphogenesis, developmental timing, evolution and developmental disorders in organoids as well as in vivo systems, and feature various technical approaches and investigations in vertebrate, and invertebrate systems.
This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Developmental Biology" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC.
