Genetics community

The Annual Conference of the German Genetics Society is a three-day event opening September 28 at the Christian Albrechts University of Kiel.

The conference is co-organised the German Genetics Society in partnership with Kiel University and the Max-Planck Institute in Plön.

Over the course of six plenary sessions and ten symposia, the conference will cover a wide range of topics, including the genetics of recombination, plant organelles, rapid adaption in pathogens, plant development, plant breeding, fungi, cancer.

TALEN and CRISPR/Cas

The conferences will also focus on epigenetics and new genome engineering methods like TALEN and CRISPR/Cas. The latter will be the subject of the Max-Delbrück-Lecture, this year delivered by Prof. Emmanuelle Charpentier of Braunschweig University.

Other Day One highlights will include the presentation of the Elisabeth Gateff Award for an outstanding PhD thesis and the Public Lecture: “New perspectives for biology and medicine: the individual as Meta-organism” by Dr. Thomas Bosch of Kiel University.

Invited speakers represent the genetics communities of many countries, including Germany, France, UK, Spain, Belgium, USA, Canada and Australia.
