Tel Aviv University - EPFL Symposium on Developmental Biology

You are invited to attend the joint TAU-EPFL Symposium on Developmental Biology organized by the Switzerland Institute of Developmental Biology. The symposium will be held on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 in a hybrid form, both physically at the TAU campus and online via zoom. The meeting will bring together experts in developmental biology from Tel Aviv University and École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Switzerland.
