Invited Speaker
Talk title: Cell polarity - the nexus of shape, mechanics and morphogenesis?
Dolf Weijers is professor and chair of Biochemistry at Wageningen University (the Netherlands). He obtained his PhD at Leiden University and spent 4 years as post-doc in Tübingen before starting his research group in Wageningen in 2006. His team studies the mechanisms underlying multicellular development in plants, often using the early embryo as a model. Recent focus is on establishment of cell polarity and asymmetric cell division.
