Overlay text: Abstracts deadline extended to 20 April

We’ve received some great abstracts so far for #SLS26. However, we’ve heard from a few of you that you need a bit more time over the Easter break to finalise submissions, so we're extending the deadline to 20 April!

Reviews are underway & we will let you know results on 4 May

Images by Sarah Attrill.. Text reads: Shaping Life: Mechanisms of Morphogenesis Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium 2026 22–24 September 2026 | Cambridge, UK #SLS26. About the Symposium #SLS26 will explore the cellular, genetic and mechanical forces shaping plant form, bringing together researchers across scales of morphogenesis. Under the theme Shaping Life, topics span molecular regulation, biomechanics, live imaging, computational modelling and evolution. Abstracts close: 30 March 2026. Keynote Speakers: Ari Pekka Mähönen (University of Helsinki) and Lucia Strader (Duke University). Invited Speakers: Bénédicte Sanson, Kalika Prasad, Marie-Cécile Caillaud, Sabrina Sabatini, Thomas Greb, Weibing Yang, Joop EM Vermeer, Keiko Torii, Paz Merelo Cremades, Stéphanie Robert, and Utpal Nath.
