This half-day symposium will celebrate the accomplishments of the department and its members in its current incarnation as one of the leading Developmental Biology departments in the country, shining a light on what we have built together! Speakers will include two distinguished departmental alums, Rafi Kopan and Kelly Monk, as well as a number of current faculty members. We will also honor John Russell, Emeritus Professor of Developmental Biology, and his contributions to the department.
