The 10th edition of the “Evolutionary Biology of Caenorhabditis and Other Nematodes” meeting will take place at the Vienna BioCenter, one of the top biology research centers in Europe, from June 17-20, 2024.
This conference brings together a diverse and global community of researchers dedicated to studying the evolution and natural diversity of nematodes, ranging from molecular mechanisms to the complex dynamics within ecosystems. By uniting experts from different disciplines, including genomics, quantitative and population genetics, parasitology, microbiology, neuroscience, and ecology, we aim to foster an environment that encourages the exchange of ideas and the exploration of cutting-edge research.
This meeting offers fantastic opportunities to discuss nematode evolution. Talks are open to researchers of all stages and will be selected from submitted abstracts to capture the diversity of topics and approaches in our community. Several poster sessions will also be offered. For researchers who are interested in starting nematode evolution experiments, this meeting is a great venue to learn more about the topic and immerse yourself in a highly supportive and collaborative community.
