Organising committee

We would like to thank the BSCB, BSDB, SEB, the organising committee and the journal teams of Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open. Together, we are creating a truly inclusive conference, and we look forward to meeting many of you in Liverpool in March 2025 to celebrate this important milestone.
