2023 Mini-Symposium: How Cells Decide Their Fate.
Register here 👉 bit.ly/43Jd40Z

The organisms that inhabit the world around us, from plants to humans to bacterial biofilms, are composed of millions to trillions of different cells, each with specialized roles. This year's mini-symposium will focus on the mechanisms that allow these cell types to form, cooperate, and regenerate.

Our featured speakers use cutting-edge biological systems and technologies to make new discoveries about cell fate determination. Join us on June 23 to learn more!

Exciting news from the Kostova Lab!

Congrats to Carnegie's Liewei “Leo” Yan, who was awarded a prestigious and highly selective fellowship from the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund for Medical Research. The three-year grant will bolster his efforts to determine how different types of ribosomes guide complex biological processes, such as embryogenesis and cancer development.

On behalf of the 2022 Postdoc Symposium Committee, we wish to invite you to our 36th annual Mini-Symposium: "Structure and Organization in Biology."

Join us in person on June 2nd, or watch via Zoom! Register now (free): https://mailchi.mp/carnegiescience.edu/2022-mini-symposium

From a single molecule to an entire ecosystem, structure informs function. This year’s mini-symposium focuses on this central idea and explores how structure and organization shape biological interactions. The featured speakers study diverse areas of biology, both in scale and kingdom, enabling a unique, multi-perspective discussion.
