5th Bangalore Benny Shilo Course in Developmental Biology
The Fifth Bangalore Benny Shilo Course in Developmental Biology
27th December 2010 to 6th January 2011.
Venue: National Centre for Biological Sciences, TIFR, Bangalore
This intensive course will focus on connecting molecular and cellular pathways to an understanding of the mechanisms that underlie animal development. The course is structured in a modular and flexible manner with each module taught by one of the leading researchers in the field.
The total number of participants in the course will be restricted to about 40. The course will be intense and will require full-time participation. Lectures will be combined with a study of research papers in work-groups followed by discussions with the teachers. At the end of the course, each student will submit a grant project as written material to the respective scientists who gave the project. The students are encouraged to discuss the grants while they write it with the speakers on an informal basis. The students should choose one project, and use this information as a starting point to write a document of 4-5 pages describing the background, aims and methods they would use to address these issues experimentally.
