The next Developmental Vascular Workshop is being held February 10-13, 2010, at the Asilomar Conference Grounds on the scenic Monterey peninsula. This is the fourth installment of what has been a very highly regarded and very exciting series of meetings held every two years at this site, focusing on molecular control of vascular development, cell signaling pathways in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, and mechanisms of patterning blood vessel growth and migration. The meetings are attended by researchers using a wide variety of different models, including mice, frogs, birds, fish, flies, and cell culture. Previous meetings have featured some of the latest, cutting-edge unpublished findings in vascular developmental biology, findings that have become major topics of widespread basic and clinical research study. The upcoming meeting is on track to be equally exciting and informative, with outstanding invited speakers representing many of the premiere research labs at the intersection of development and vascular biology. In addition to invited speakers, talks will be selected from the submitted abstracts. With two long poster sessions and even more time allotted for talks programmed from abstracts than in previous DVB meetings, there will be many opportunities for meeting attendees to present their research findings to other participants.
Preliminary program, additional information, and registration and abstract submission are available at:

Indiana University’s Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions will host the seventeenth annual Teaching Research Ethics Workshop at the Indiana Memorial Union on the campus of Indiana University Bloomington, May 18-21, 2010. Session topics will include an overview of ethical theory, trainee and authorship issues, conflicts of interest, using human subjects in clinical and non-clinical research, and responsible data management. Many sessions will feature techniques for teaching and assessing the responsible conduct of research. The Office of Research Administration and the Research Ethics, Education and Policy Office are sponsors in 2010.

Application Deadline: 30 January 2010
http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/c-xeno10.shtml
Description: The course combines intensive laboratory training with daily lectures from recognized experts in the field. Students will learn both emerging technologies and classical techniques to study gene function in Xenopus development. An important element will be the informal interaction between students and course faculty. Technologies to be covered will include: oocyte and embryo culture, lineage analysis and experimental manipulation of embryos, time lapse imaging of morphogenesis, gain and loss of function analysis using mRNAs and antisense oligos, whole mount in situ hybridization, immunocytochemistry, RT-PCR, and genomic/bioinformatic techniques, preparation of transgenic embryos, and use of Xenopus tropicalis for genetic analyses.

http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/c-mous10.shtml
Description: This intensive laboratory and lecture course is designed for biologists interested in applying their expertise to the study of mouse development. Lectures provide the conceptual basis for contemporary research in mouse embryogenesis and organogenesis, while laboratory practicals provide extensive hands-on introduction to mouse embryo analysis. Experimental techniques to be covered include in vitro culture and manipulation of pre- and post-implantation embryos, embryo transfer, culture and genetic manipulation of embryonic stem cells, production of chimeras by embryo aggregation and by ES cell injection, and transgenesis by pronuclear microinjection. In addition, this year's practicals will feature increased emphasis on phenotypic analysis of mutants, including techniques of histology, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, skeletal preparation, organ culture, and tissue recombination. The course will also introduce the generation of iPS cells and time-lapse microscopy of early gastrulation embryos and organ cultures.

Application Deadline: 15 April 2010
http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/c-stem10.shtml
Description: This ten day-long discussion course will bring together leading researchers in the stem cell field with a small group of international students. A major aim of the workshop is to discuss in considerable detail the pros and cons of many of the emerging technologies relevant to stem cell research and development, including high throughput approaches, functional genomics and bioinformatics. A key feature of the course is the easy access to the workshop leaders and the invited lecturers for informal discussion. The purpose of the workshop is to provide participants with an opportunity to achieve an advanced understanding of the scientific and clinical importance of stem cells.

http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/c-worms10.shtml
Description: This course is designed to familiarize investigators with C. elegans as an experimental system, with an emphasis on both classical genetic analysis and reverse genetic approaches. A major goal is to teach students how to successfully exploit the information generated by the C. elegans genome project. The course is suited both for those who have a current training in molecular biology and some knowledge of genetics, but have no experience with C. elegans, as well as students with some prior worm experience who wished to expand their repertoire of expertise. Topics include: worm pushing, C. elegans databases and worm bioinformatics, anatomy and development, forward genetics, chemical and transposon mutagenesis, generation of transgenic animals, expression pattern analysis, reverse genetics, construction and screening of deletion libraries, and RNA inactivation.
