EMBO Workshop: Imaging mouse development

This conference will take place at EMBL Heidelberg, with the option to attend virtually.

Conference Overview

This workshop aims to bring together and help establish an emerging community with the common goal of four dimensional reconstruction of mammalian development. A number of long­standing questions surrounding the early development of mammals have been inaccessible to molecular research due to technical limitations and poor physical accessibility of these processes. How is the body plan established in the early embryo? How is morphogenesis coordinated with lineage specification? The recent revolutions in advanced light microscopy and bioimage informatics have opened up completely new avenues to address these questions and make fundamental advances in our understanding of the developing mammalian embryo.

The workshop will bring together members of the mouse developmental community, advanced microscopy, computational image analysis and, more broadly, quantitative biology to raise awareness about the available techniques and foster a discussion about how we can utilize them to resolve the outstanding questions. This will also be an excellent opportunity to have an open conversation about what tools are still needed and how to make large datasets publicly available.
