Salim Seyfried concludes the #GfESEBDDSDB2026 #GfE2026 meeting wrapping up the highlights. It was a beautiful and diverse meeting with the many different fields of developmental biology across all of nature.
And #gfe2026 comes to an end!
Thanks to the organisers from @gfeev.bsky.social, @sebioldev.bsky.social & DSDB, and all the speakers and delegates for a really fun and interesting meeting.
Delighted that @dev-journal.bsky.social and @biologists.bsky.social could be involved!
..I'll stop typing now
In the last session of the #GfESEBDDSBD meeting we had the pleasure of hearing about Regeneration and disease models and a talk by Miguel Angel Garitagoitia-Romero from @nadiamercader.bsky.social and @miguel-torres-1963.bsky.social labs!
Last morning of #GfESEBDDSDB2026 and a session on Stem cells and organoids where our board member @trayon.bsky.social gave a fantastic talk on her most recent results on protein metabolism in developmental tempo #gfe2026
Cephalopods, like squid, have three hearts. @gertjanveenstra.bsky.social explores how they develop & what we can learn about heart evolution. Gill (brachial) hearts form first, followed by a central, systemic heart, and they develop differently than vertebrates in terms of gene activation. #gfe2026
The topic of session 8 at #GfE2026 is "Evolutionary adaptations & #EvoDevo" and is chaired by Ulrich Technau (@ulrichtechnau.bsky.social) & Sofia Araujo (@sofiajaraujo.bsky.social)
At the #GfESEBDDSBD2026 EvoDevo session we start with a talk by Isabel Almudi @isabelalmudi.bsky.social from @geneticsub.bsky.social and #SEBD board member #GfE2026
We continue the morning with a session on “Forces define form - mechanobiology” with 2 #SEBD representatives, Jerome Solom from Biofisika Institute (CSIC, EHU) and Cielo Centola from @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social
What a way to start the second day of #GfESEBDDSDB2026 ! A Keynote lecture by Isabel Fariñas @farinaslab.bsky.social introduced by our president Eloisa Herrera @eloisaherrera.bsky.social
