One of the defining features of living systems is their capacity to break symmetry and self-organise to form reproducible shapes and patterns. However, the mechanistic understanding of this process remains a challenge as it requires a multi-disciplinary approach. This symposium will bring together those working in distinct disciplines such as cell and developmental biology, tissue biophysics, theoretical modelling, organoids and synthetic biology, and will provide a platform to discuss and identify key approaches and future collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Symmetry breaking in cells and tissues<\/li><li>Collective cell behaviour<\/li><li>Morphogenesis<\/li><li>Tissue mechanics<\/li><li>Pattern formation<\/li><li>Modelling self-organisation<\/li><li>Synthetic biology<\/li><li>Organogenesis and organoids<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should attend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers working on both the mechanisms and manipulation of tissue morphogenesis, using&nbsp;<em>in vivo<\/em>&nbsp;animal models and&nbsp;<em>ex vivo<\/em>&nbsp;organoid approaches.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-311a4dae-4712-45c4-bb7c-83f569003b70\"><h2 class=\"vf-u-sr-only\">Speakers<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speakers and Trainers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"embl-grid\"><div class=\"\"><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<article class=\"vf-profile vf-profile--very-easy vf-profile--medium vf-profile--block | vf-u-margin__bottom--400\">\n\n    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"115\" height=\"135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bement-New-1.jpg\" class=\"vf-profile__image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\" \/>\n    <h3 class=\"vf-profile__title\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n                    William M.
