Dartmouth Life Sciences Symposium History: 2018
\nCell Polarity Across the Diversity of Life
\nAcross the tree of life and within single organisms, cells grow into a dizzying array of shapes and sizes. Are there common molecules or design principles that generate this striking cellular diversity? The 2018 Life Sciences Symposium celebrates this diversity across nature focusing on cell polarity mechanisms, the architects of cellular structure. Cell polarity connects with virtually every cell type and process in the kingdom of life, from single-celled organisms like bacteria and yeasts to complex multicellular organisms like plants and animals. We will learn how cells acquire their size, shape, and fate through molecular interactions within the cell polarity program. These topics and more will be covered by an exciting lineup of leaders in the field.<\/p>\n
