The UNC DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAM is proud to announce its first annual Developmental Biology Symposium. The central theme of the day will be the role of signaling during early development. The day’s events will include seminars from several UNC faculty members, poster sessions featuring the work of UNC post-doctoral fellows and graduate students and a series of short presentations of post-doctoral and graduate student research. The UNC Developmental Biology Training Program is affiliated with the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences.
