Growth, Division and Differentiation: Understanding Developmental Control

Date: 18th – 21st September 2011

Location: Wiston House, Steyning, West Sussex, UK

Organisers: Anna Philpott and Nancy Papalopulu

To generate tissue mass and to adopt diverse functions, cells of the early embryo must grow, divide and ultimately differentiate. While pathways controlling these individual events have been well-characterised, we have much less understanding of the mechanisms co-ordinating these processes during embryogenesis.

The aim of this workshop was to bring together researchers studying cell growth, cell cycle and differentiation in diverse developmental models, to explore common control mechanisms uncovered using genetic, cell and molecular approaches.
