Genes and Development is a research grouping of biomedical scientists investigating the molecular, genetic and cellular developmental mechanisms in a wide range of tissues and systems, including kidneys and nephrocytes, neural development, and male and female reproductive systems.
Genes and Development have now been meeting for around twenty years, holding research seminars, meetings of PIs and retreats.
Theme Lead: Prof Norah Spears
