[S08]Symposium 08 Exploring development and evolution through primate model systems

Fri. Jun 12, 2026 9:15 AM - 12:15 PM JST
Fri. Jun 12, 2026 12:15 AM - 3:15 AM UTC
Room B = Multi-purpose studio (2F)(JMS ASTERPLAZA 2F)
Chairpersons:Ikuo Suzuki(The Univ. of Osaka), Takuya Imamura(Hiroshima Univ.)
This symposium explores the mechanisms of developmental conservation and evolutionary diversity through cutting-edge research using primate models, such as macaques and marmosets. Recent breakthroughs in stem cell technology, genome editing, and single-cell analysis have unveiled the intricate developmental dynamics of non-human primates, which were previously difficult to access. By integrating these findings, we aim to facilitate a deep discussion on how human-specific traits emerged from a developmental perspective.
