Decoding Animal Development : How Genes, Cells and Signals build on Animal

How Genes, Cells, and Signals Build an Animal

How does a single fertilised egg transform into a complex, multicellular organism with specialised tissues, organs, and precisely coordinated biological functions?

The remarkable journey from a single cell to a fully developed animal is one of biology's most fascinating phenomena. Behind this extraordinary transformation lies an intricate interplay of genetic programmes, cellular communication, molecular signalling, and precisely orchestrated developmental processes.

Join us for an engaging and intellectually stimulating scientific conversation with Prof. Surendra Ghaskadbi, Honorary Advisor, Developmental Biology Group, MACS–Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, as we explore the fundamental principles governing animal development.

This session, titled “Decoding Animal Development: How Genes, Cells, and Signals Build an Animal,” will offer insights into how cells acquire distinct identities, communicate with their neighbours, organise into tissues, and collectively establish the architecture of a living organism. From the regulation of gene expression and cell differentiation to the molecular…
