Molecular Mechanisms, Embryonic Development and Adult Tissue Homeostasis and Therapeutics

The Wnt Signaling GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

Wnt signaling is an evolutionary conserved cell-cell communication system directing embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. Wnt proteins are involved in tissue regeneration after injury and deregulated signaling promote cancer and other human diseases. The 2023 Wnt Signaling GRC and GRS will bring together established and emerging scientists interested in all aspects of Wnt biology: the molecular mechanisms underlying signal transduction, the biological processes controlled by Wnt signaling and the various diseases rooted in aberrant Wnt signaling. Academic scientists, clinicians and industry leaders will discuss advances in Wnt signaling that impact their fields of interest. Speakers will present recent findings based on a variety of experimental approaches and model systems, with the goals of stimulating discussions, pushing the field’s boundaries, forging new collaborations and promoting the emergence of new leaders in this field.
