The School is focused on the basic physical and biological principles of the development of multicellular organisms.
The purpose of this advanced School is to provide both an introduction to the basic physical and biological principles of development, and an overview of recent breakthroughs and promising research directions in the field.
The selected topics will include morphogen signaling, somatogenesis, control of growth and division, tissue mechanics and regeneration, both in model organisms (drosophila, zebrafish, mouse) and in humans.
