Description of event:
Description
Conference chairs
Clare Blackburn and Val Wilson (MRC Centre for Regenerative
Medicine, Edinburgh)
Determining the origin of
tissue stem/progenitor
cells is key to our understanding of developmental
biology. This meeting will
focus on how and when self-renewing
tissue stem cells arise during embryonic development. We will discuss common features between different
stem cell lineages, and examine how modelling can inform
in vivo studies. Join us in Edinburgh to learn more, exchange ideas and accelerate discoveries with leading scientists in this field.

Venue:
The Quincentenary Building, Surgeons' Hall is situated at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Approximately 10 minutes walk from Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle, the building's original stonework has been retained and blended with a modern design of granite and steel, creating a wonderful combination of old and new.

About Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city is easy to reach by air, rail and road. In the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, the ancient buildings at the top of the Old Town ramble down the spine of the Royal Mile to the splendid Palace of Holyroodhouse and across the Princes Street gardens lies the elegant Georgian New Town, teeming with shops and restaurants.
