Overview
The Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at Vanderbilt University hosted its inaugural Cell Dynamics Symposium on June 2nd and 3rd, 2016.
Dr. Peter Walter was the keynote speaker. Other leading speakers included Dr. Dafna Bar-Sagi, Dr. Anthony Bretscher, Dr. Pietro De Camilli, Dr. Rebecca Heald, and Dr. Sean Morrison.
Vanderbilt has a vibrant scientific community with a large number of investigators working on various aspects of cell dynamics, and we expect the symposium will attract interest from across the entire campus. Invitations will extend to attendees from other institutions in the region.
