Keynote Speaker

We are very excited to have Dr. Cecilia Moens as our Keynote speaker! The Moens lab studies the early development of the vertebrate brain, using the transparent zebrafish embryo as an in vivo model system. Her lab's approaches combine genetics and in vivo imaging of neurons and neural progenitors in the process of neuroepithelial morphogenesis, neuronal migration and axogenesis with the goal of understanding how genes control the early events in the embryo that ultimately lead to the establishment of normal neural circuits.
