If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symposium overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Developmental biology is inherently interdisciplinary. It draws on insights from embryology, genetics, cell and molecular biology, biophysics, systems biology, multi-omics, evolutionary biology, and quantitative biology to unravel how organisms develop. These fields evolve rapidly, reshaping the research landscape and driving innovation. This new symposium seeks to highlight the cutting-edge methodological and conceptual breakthroughs redefining this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting will explore the dynamic interface of developmental biology with emerging technologies and transformative concepts to tackle fundamental questions on patterning, morphogenesis, cell differentiation, growth, organogenesis, regeneration, and evolution. It will spotlight state-of-the-art methodologies, including multi-modal imaging, synthetic developmental biology, AI-driven insights, advances in genetic engineering, and high-throughput genotype-to-phenotype platforms. By bridging <em>in vivo<\/em> and <em>ex vivo<\/em> systems\u2014such as gastruloids and organoids\u2014with non-model organisms, we aim to uncover new conceptual frameworks to understand developmental complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The symposium will feature researchers at the forefront of the field, addressing processes in physiological contexts (e.g., <em>in-utero<\/em> development, oogenesis) and through theoretical lenses (e.g., information propagation, dynamical systems), fostering a holistic perspective on development in its full biological and conceptual richness. This meeting will connect a wide community of researchers interested in developmental processes, seeding a reference meeting on modern developmental biology.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section
