Join us for ISDN2020 – the biennial conference of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience (ISDN) – in Vancouver, one of the most outstanding convention cities in the world, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, sun drenched sands and the sparkling Pacific Ocean.

The 2020 meeting will feature an exciting and diverse scientific program focused on recent advances and future directions in fundamental and applied developmental neuroscience arranged within the following symposia:

1. Single cell OMIC approaches to study cell lineage and system organization
   Chair: Dr. Songhai Shi, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, USA
2. Development of the cerebellum and cerebellar tumours
   Chair: Dr. Dan Goldowitz, University of British Columbia, Canada & Dr. Michael Piper, University of Queensland, Australia
3. Autism spectrum disorders
   Chair: Dr. Dalila Pinto, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, USA
4. Primary cilia in normal and pathological conditions
   Chair: Dr. Jeong Ho Lee, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Republic of Korea
5. Development of astrocytes
   Chair: Dr. Shubha Tole, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, India
6. Epigenetics and chromatin remodeling in neural coding
   Chair: Dr. Yukiko Gotoh, The University of Tokyo, Japan
7. Evolution and cortical expansion of the human brain
   Chair: Dr. Fumio Matsuzaki, RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology, Japan
8. Adult neurogenesis
   Chair: Dr. Freda Miller, Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto, Canada
9. Non-coding elements and human brain development
