Swiss Drosophila Meeting

Introduction

The annual Swiss Drosophila Meeting is the main forum for the Swiss research community working with the genetic model organism Drosophila melanogaster. This meeting was initiated half a century ago and, to this day, basic research in Drosophila in Switzerland has significantly advanced various fields in the life sciences such as genetics, molecular, cell and developmental biology, evolutionary genetics, immunology, and neuroscience.

The Swiss Drosophila Meeting is a one-day event and typically attracts 120-150 participants from across the country, including the Universities of Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg, Bern, Basel and Zürich, as well as the ETH Zürich, EPFL and FMI. Scientists at all levels, from Bachelor students to Principal Investigators, regularly attend the meeting, as well as several researchers returning from PhD or postdoctoral stays abroad.

The Swiss Drosophila Meeting 2024 takes place on Thursday June 20th at the University of Lausanne, in the main auditorium on the ground floor of the Biophore Building.

Registration and abstract submission deadline: May 10th 2024.
