Zebrafish + Your Topic

At TAGC, sessions dedicated to the latest in Drosophila research alternate with Thematic Sessions. That means you get a community meeting and topic meeting in one.

At Zebrafish Sessions, you will join deep explorations of your favorite model organism. Then you can take your pick of Thematic Sessions that bring together the latest advances from all seven research communities. These two types of sessions do not overlap, so you won’t  have to choose between your study system and your topic.

Tailor your conference from the themes below.

And don’t forget to check out the extensive professional development and education program, and the Keynote Speakers.

Hurry, abstracts are due December 13, 2019!
