Slideshow: Hunter Meeting, cell biology among the vines
Wednesday, 13 April, 2011
Phil Robinson is understandably pleased with how the most recent Hunter Meeting unfolded. "The whole concept of the Hunter Meeting is the fusion of cell biology and differentiation, and making sure the two disciplines are both thoroughly represented," he said. "One of the things that was most commented on this year was how well that worked."
The Hunter Meeting was held from 22-25 of March in New South Wales' lush Hunter Valley, known for its wines and fine produce. Speakers included George Banting, from Bristol University in the UK, who spoke on tetherin; Kai Simons, from the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, Germany, on lipid rafts; Jean-Paul Thiery, from the IMB, Singapore, on ontogeny and mechanisms of migration of murine neural crest; and Jurgen Goetz, from the University of Sydney on tau and disease, among many others.
