Beyond the standard: Unconventional vertebrate models in biomedicine

The workshop is being led by a team of IRR researchers and will bring together a diverse group of international experts working across a range of unconventional vertebrates (or interested in incorporating them into their research). The aim is to stimulate discussions, create new research bridges across fields and share technological expertise that will expand the research toolbox for these species. 

Organised by Aida Rodrigo Albors, Sofia Ferreira Gonzalez, and Stuart Forbes, this five-day event will be hosted at the National Museum of Scotland and includes keynote talks, short and flash talks selected from abstracts, poster sessions, plenty of time for networking, talk and poster prizes. 

Building on the previous EMBO Workshop, this meeting will be split over seven sessions focusing on tools and methods development, immunology and metabolism, reproduction and reproductive health, stem cells, tissue repair and regeneration, senescence and ageing. 

Registration

The registration deadline is 8 May 2025. 

Price ranges differ for students, postdocs, academics and industry participants. Places are offered on a first come, first served basis. 

Registration entitles participants to access all talks and poster sessions, lunch and receptions, the walking tour and the gala dinner.
