Transcriptional Mechanisms of Early Lymphocyte Development Symposium

November 5-6, 2009, La Jolla, California

Abcam is pleased to that our first meeting in T-Cell Development is happening next month. More specifically, this meeting will cover an in-depth analysis of transcriptional regulators and gene regulatory networks controlling emergence and fate choices in hematopoietic stem cells; transcriptional control biochemistry of specification and commitment in myeloid and lymphoid lineages; lineage-specific regulatory factors and their modes of action; hierarchy of multipotent progenitors and the gene regulatory networks that determine their fate choices; roles of environment signals in timing and lineage fidelity of cell fate decisions in early lymphoid development.

Venue

The Salk Institute for Biological Studies
La Jolla, California

  Salk institute   

Date

November 5 - 6, 2009

Organizers

Ellen Rothenberg (California Institute of Technology) and Abcam
