Dear colleagues,

I am thrilled to announce the Avian Cells/Chromosomes/Collections
Symposium 2024 (ACCCS 2024) in the lecture hall of Museum Koenig Bonn
from December 09 morning until December 10 noon 2024. Registration is
free of charge and will include coffee/tea/snacks during breaks. Lunch
and dinner options will be arranged at student-friendly prices and with
the aim to maximize opportunities for networking among all participants.

The aim of the ACCCS 2024 is to connect researchers working on avian
model systems with researchers working on non-model bird species to
discuss important obstacles that need to be overcome when studying avian
development, avian chromosome evolution, as well as when developing museum
collections towards cryopreservation of avian cells. A special focus of
this meeting will be on cell culture and germline editing of birds through
cutting-edge research presented by the invited speakers. Researchers
studying germline-restricted chromosomes, microchromosomes or sex
chromosomes of birds are especially encouraged to submit an abstract
because their fields will strongly benefit from the incorporation of
cell culture and gene editing.

Invited speakers:
- Mike McGrew (The Roslin Institute, Edinburgh, UK)
- Marie Manceau (Collège de France, Paris, France)
- Manfred Gahr (MPI for Biological Intelligence, Seewiesen, Germany)
- Andrea Münsterberg (University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK)
- Jérôme Fuchs & Bertrand Bed'Hom (Muséum national d'Histoire,
  Paris, France)
- Jonas Astrin & Camilla Di Nizo (Biobank, LIB, Germany)

Every submitted abstract on the topics of avian development, avian cell
biology, avian collections/biobanking, and avian evolutionary genomics
will receive a contributed presentation. Depending on the number of
submitted abstracts, each contributed presentation will either be a
regular talk (12+3 minutes) or a lightning talk + poster.

You can find practical information and the link for registration +
abstract submission here: https://genomicrocosm.wordpress.com/acccs-2024/

Abstract submission deadline is November 24 at 23:59 CET.

Best wishes,
Alex
