Stem Cell & Developmental Biology Early Career Symposium Scientific Sessions

Cell Fates and Traits — Explore how cells acquire, refine, and diversify their identities, integrating developmental, stem-cell, and engineering approaches to reveal the mechanisms that guide lineage decisions and tissue formation.

Data Analysis Across Scales — Analyze how cutting-edge computational, imaging, and engineering tools integrate information across molecular, cellular, and organismal scales to reveal the principles driving development and regeneration.

Model Systems and the Organism — Investigate how diverse embryos, organoids, and regenerative models uncover fundamental principles of early development, tissue formation, and the origins of developmental disorders that are relevant to human biology.

Spatial Awareness — Examine how cells generate, sense, and respond to spatial cues during development and regeneration, using comparative regeneration models, stem-cell–derived embryoids, and quantitative imaging to reveal the rules that guide tissue patterning and morphogenesis.
