The Mammalian Genetics and Development Workshop is an annual meeting focusing on the development and genetics of mammals.  The Meeting is based on the submitted abstracts, and includes diverse topics ranging from mammalian development (not exclusively human or mouse) and identification of disease genes and developmental mechanisms, to human genetics and epigenetics. Other non-mammalian model systems (including Drosophila, zebrafish and chick) are also welcomed where these relate to general developmental questions and/or disease models.

The workshop is traditionally a venue for post-docs and PhD students to talk rather than laboratory heads and is an excellent training ground and a friendly, informal forum. In keeping with this objective, we offer TWO PRIZES of £150 to individual post-graduate/post-doctoral presenters.

Abstract Submission: All Workshop presentations will be in lecture format (15 or 20 minutes).  Please send your abstract by e-mail (Word or rtf file) to ICH.Mgdwshop@ucl.ac.uk by 5pm on 30th September 2026. In addition please indicate the length of talk you prefer. 

Abstract format is as follows: Title (bold), AUTHORS (ALL CAPS), Address (italics) and text (200 word limit).
