Emerging Roles of the Nucleolus
October 24–27, 2019
Stowers Institute, Kansas City, Mo.
Organizers
Jennifer Gerton, Stowers Institute for Medical Research
Francesca E. Duncan, Northwestern University
Craig Pikaard, Indiana University
The symposium focused on nucleolar structure and function. Addressing fundamental questions on this topic necessarily involves work in diverse scientific fields such as RNA biology, nuclear organization, gene regulation and genome stability. The sessions at this symposium were designed to bring together researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds in order to make connections across disciplines and promote collaboration.
