Symposium	FRONTIERS IN DEVELOPMENTAL CELL BIOLOGY- PLANTS AND BEYOND	Plant Biology
Date	Sep 07-08, 2010
Organisers	Niko Geldner (University of Lausanne) Christian Hardtke (University of Lausanne)
Site	University of Lausanne (Biophore)
Theme	Research on the mechanisms that generate and maintain cellular organisation has expanded rapidly during the last decades, leading to major breakthroughs in our understanding of cellular function. This development has been driven by the realisation that a multitude of physiological and developmental processes can only be understood if cellular behaviour of individual, specialised cells within their organismic context is taken into account. This conference will bring together outstanding researchers that have taken up the challenge to go beyond isolated cell systems and to analyse the specifics of cellular organisation and responses within the organism. The conference is centered around developmental cell biology in plants, but will go beyond that and feature some of the most forward thinking and visionary developmental cell biologists in the animal field. Our aim is to promote a developmental focus on cell biology, which will be crucial for a truly mechanistic understanding of plant life in the future. In addition, we hope to foster exchanges between plant and animal developmental cell biologists about the conserved and specific features in the organisation of eukaryotic cells.
