INVITED COURSES
The beautiful complexity of the developmental process
Bernat Corominas-Murtra
Graz University
ABSTRACT
The process of organism development leads to the emergence of a fully formed organism starting from a single cell, representing one of Nature’s most astonishing phenomena. As development unfolds, numerous processes intricately overlap to construct a viable individual, with its immense complexity —be it a fly, a mouse, or a human being— in a remarkably short amount of time. In this course we will revise several aspects of this intriguing subject following the timeline of embryo development:
–General overview of the early embryo development in animals
–Feedbacks between cell properties, stochasticity, mechanics and topology
–Dynamical singularities in the early embryo dynamics
–Phase transitions in embryonic tissue dynamics
–Phase transitions and symmetry breaking at the onset of morphogenesis

scam warning
We are aware of a number of current scams targeting participants at CRM activities concerning registration or accommodation bookings. If you are approached by a third party (eg travellerpoint.org, Conference Committee, Global Travel Experts or Royal Visit) asking for booking or payment details, please ignore them.
Please remember:
i) CRM never uses third parties to do our administration for events: messages will come directly from CRM staff
ii) CRM will never ask participants for credit card or bank details
iii) If you have any doubt about an email you receive please get in touch
