The Biology of Cilia and Flagella Conference
June 26–30, 2022
Tucson, AZ
#Cilia22
Summary
June 26-30, 2022
Launched in 2007 by Joel Rosenbaum, this FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) is the leading international meeting covering all aspects of cilia and cilia-related diseases. It provides a forum to share the newest research and covers the field from basic research in model organisms to the development of treatments for human ciliopathies.
The conference brings together established investigators and newcomers to the field of cilia including human geneticists, cell, molecular, structural, and developmental biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and physician-scientists using a broad range of models and methods to study cilia and cilia-related disease.

Program
The main themes are: 1) The basic biology of cilia including its structure, composition and motility; 2) The mechanism of cilia signaling and its role during development and homeostasis; 3) The etiology of cilia-related disease and the development of treatments.
Conference sessions will present the latest research and foster discussion on:
The conference will consist of 10 sessions, and two poster sessions with abstract presentations. We will feature several career development opportunities for trainees and early-career scientists. Early in the week, the “Meet the Experts” workshop will help trainees build on interactions they make during the meeting. In the Career Development Session, topics will include job application materials, navigating relocation, careers outside of academia, networking, and self-advocacy as well as a “Cilia and Biotech” discussion with presentations from biotech companies.
