About


The Young Embryologist Network was set up in 2008 by PhD students in the UCL Research Department of Cell & Developmental Biology under the guiding hand of Dr Yoshiyuki Yamamoto. The purpose of the network came from a desire to improve communication in the research environment for PhD and Post-Doc embryologists.

Network Aims


  • To open lines of communication and create a diverse, interactive research community for PhD students, Post-Doc and young PI embryologists; essentially anybody who is at the bench.

  • To encourage researchers to think across models and diverse developmental systems.

  • To help define and uncover the future direction of the field.

  • To promote the importance, and help ensure the continuation of basic research.

  • We hope to reach these aims through running the annual Young Embryologist Meeting as well as series of seminars at rotating research institutions.
