The Consequences of Aneuploidy Conference: Honoring the Contributions of Angelika Amon
Sept. 11–16, 2022
Southbridge, MA
#ANEUPLOIDY22
Summary
September 11-16, 2022
Since Angelika Amon was a fierce advocate for women, minorities, and diversity in science, we’ve designed this meeting to reflect those same values. Travel funds are available to help defray the costs of travel for URM junior scientists and for those that recruit URM attendees. URM attendees will be paired with a faculty mentor to enhance their experience during the meeting.
Despite the significant consequences of aneuploidy on human health, this is the only regularly scheduled scientific conference on this topic. The conference will bring together under-represented minorities, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, early-career scientists, and established researchers to foster innovation and collaboration.
