18th Spanish Society for Developmental Biology Meeting

The Spanish Society for Developmental Biology (SEBD) is proud to announce the 18th meeting of the Society to be held from October 16-18, 2024 at the Hotel Eden Roc in Sant Feliu de Guíxols.

This meeting will be an excellent opportunity to discover the latest experimental approaches and future directions in Developmental and Cell Biology as well as to discuss new data and ideas.
Sessions will be organized around the most up-to-date scientific topics in Developmental Biology.
Each session will be headed by a world leader in these fields and a prominent place will be reserved for oral contributions from PIs and postdocs that will be selected from the abstracts for all sessions. There will be short sessions devoted to posters’ flash-talks. The meeting will also be home to the José Luis Gomez-Skarmeta prize in Developmental Biology and the Ph.D. theses prizes from the SEBD.

We are confident that this meeting will be an excellent occasion to foster fruitful scientific interactions and discussions.

We look forward to seeing you all at the 18th SEBD Meeting!
