UK C. elegans Meeting 2024
3-4th April 2025 - Durham
We are delighted to bring the Genetics Society-sponsored UK C. elegans Meeting to the centre of the UK (!) and host the 2025 meeting in Durham.
In a modification to the normal format of the UK C. elegans Meeting, it will run from lunch on Thursday 3rd April until lunchtime on Friday 4th April, to allow for more time for interaction between attendees. There will be a mix of keynote talks, short talks and poster sessions, and a banquet dinner at Grey College. We aim to maximise the number of attendees who can present their research.
In addition, there will be an ECR workshop on translation of basic research that runs before the main meeting (late afternoon/evening on Wednesday 2nd April and finishing Thursday lunchtime). This is being supported by the MCSA NERVSPAN consortium – a doctoral training network consisting entirely of C. elegans labs (including Magnitude Biosciences). ECR attendees of the Worm Meeting are invited to also register for this free event.
All researchers who study C. elegans (and other nematodes) are welcome to attend. Updates on format, speakers, registration and abstract submission will appear here.
