The Biannual C. elegans Conference is the premier meeting for C. elegans researchers. Hundreds of presentations cover the full diversity of C. elegans investigations, including genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, development, immunology, physiology, neuroscience, evolution, and more. In addition to the invited speakers in the Plenary Sessions and abstract-driven Concurrent Platform Sessions, the 2023 meeting will feature an Equity and Inclusion Plenary Session, attendee-organized workshops, posters, exhibits, and a wide range of professional development and networking events.
In 2023, the Worm community will be reuniting in Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow. The city’s historic landmarks, breathtaking scenery, and rich cultural scene provide the perfect setting in which to connect with colleagues, discuss your research, and be inspired! The conference is being held at the Scottish Event Campus with multiple hotels nearby.
The International C. elegans Conference is hands down my favorite meeting. I was so nervous at my first “worm meeting” in 1997. That feeling quickly evaporated during the poster sessions, when I presented and when I visited others…everyone was super excited to talk about their research. I look forward to every C. elegans conference and in particular, seeing old colleagues/friends and meeting new ones at #Worm23 in Scotland.

His lab uses the nematode C. elegans to study the problem of how neurons acquire their unique and distinct identity features and how neurons can change their phenotypes in response to specific internal and external states.

The GSA Undergraduate Registration Awards promote excellence in undergraduate research and education. The awards support registration costs for undergraduate members who are presenting at a GSA conference.
We would love to see everyone in Scotland, though we realize some may not be able to travel. For those who can’t make it to #Worm23 at SEC, Glasgow, virtual registration will offer opportunities to present as well as online access to abstract-driven oral presentations, poster PDFs, professional development events, and more.
