The frog, Xenopus, is a powerful model system for exploring gene function in vertebrates. The International Xenopus Conference is held once every two years and alternates between North America, Europe, and Japan. This conference will showcase all of the latest cutting edge research in Xenopus, encompassing cell, developmental and neurobiology plus of course genomics and genetics. The organizers are working hard to make this the best and most comprehensive Xenopus conference to date, and we very much hope you can join us at Lake Louise in September.
