Developmental Biology meeting
SFBD/JSDB member
Developmental Biology meeting
Human Frontier Science Program and the French and Japanese societies for Developmental Biology (SFBD & JSDB) are pleased to announce the upcoming meeting : “New Frontiers in Developmental Biology – Celebrating the Diversity of Life”, which will be held under the Haut patronage of the Consulat Général du Japon, on November 7-10, 2022 in Strasbourg France.
This 3rd Franco-Japanese meeting aims to bring together researchers studying developmental processes in both animals and plants, provide a forum for discussing recent discoveries and promote the development of new model systems. An attractive range of topics will be covered, including :
Robustness & Plasticity
of identities and developmental processes
Cellular ontogeny
evolution, transitions & trajectories
Single cell analyses
cellular heterogeneity, gene regulatory networks
Epigenetics processes
underlying cellular identities
Tissue & organism homeostasis
ageing, senescence and regeneration
Dynamic processes
imaging advances & new models
Developmental processes
modelled in a dish: Stem cells, blastuloids and organoids
Building an organism
patterning & scaling during embryogenesis and organogenesis
Ensuring the next generation
meiosis, mitosis & germ cells
This international conference aims to foster interactions between young researchers and global leaders and to highlight young researchers. A Franco-Japanese committee with experiences ranging from the end of the PhD to young PIs is involved in crafting the programme, starting with invited speakers line up, which includes several junior PIs. In addition, many opportunities for oral presentations selected on abstracts (36 selected talks plus many Poster flash talks) as well as two poster sessions will be offered. We particularly encourage students, post-doctoral fellows, staff members, and junior faculty using plant and animal models to present their work. The meeting is currently scheduled as a full in-person meeting.
Furthermore, our ambition is to involve the participation of the general public to this meeting, thus planned it as a double event : a range of outreach actions have been scheduled around the meeting to involve the lay public (see the Outreach page). We welcome volunteers, and students in particular, to participate in the planned school workshops and encourage you to attend the outreach conferences, exhibits and Art&Science show.
We are pleased to introduce the 3rd Joint meeting of the Japanese Society for Developmental Biology (JSDB) and the French Society for Developmental Biology (SFBD), in association with the Human Frontiers Scientific Program (HFSP), to be held in Strasbourg, France, November 7th-10th, 2022. After 2 years of COVID-linked restrictions, this meeting is planned as an in-person meeting. Given the long-standing relationship between JSDB and SFBD since the first and second joint meetings in Giens, 2008 and Paris, 2010, we hope that this 3rd joint meeting will further stimulate our research collaboration and cultural interactions.
Cultural exchanges between France and Japan at governmental and private levels stretch back more than 100 years. One good example is Maison Franco-Japonaise, established in 1924, which has been supporting the scholar exchange program between the two countries. In the field of Biology, there is the Société Franco-Japonaise de Biologie in Japan, whose former president is Professor Harukazu Nakamura, the former Editor-in-chief of Development, Growth and Differentiation, an official journal of the JSDB.
This conference will cover a broad range of fields including Embryogenesis, Organogenesis, Regeneration, Evo-Devo, and Stem Cell Biology using a variety of animal and plant models, each of these model organisms having its own advantage for addressing fundamental questions of Developmental Biology. There will be two featured keynote speakers one from Japan, Professor Yoshiko Takahashi (Kyoto University), one from France, Michalis Averof (Institut de Génomique Fonctionelle de Lyon) associated with two lectures from HFSP recipients, Christine Cheung (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) and Penney Gilbert (Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Toronto, Canada). An understanding of how cells organize themselves to form complex structures is essential to addressing pathological processes and diseases.
New technologies such as global genomic approaches at a single cell level allow the re-examination of fundamental questions without preconceived notions. Furthermore, whole-embryo live imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and synthetic biology approaches such as organoid and gastruloid are further deepening our understanding of dynamic processes operating at microscopic scale inside embryos.
We are looking forward to seeing you all at the joint meeting in Strasbourg!

Cette rencontre scientifique franco-japonaise ” Nouvelles Frontières en Biologie du Développement – Célébrer la Diversité de la Vie ” est prévue comme un double événement, pour intégrer activement cette rencontre dans notre société. Nous proposerons donc en parallèle une série d’actions de sensibilisation « Strasbourg dans la lumière de la Biologie » afin d’accroître la prise de conscience et la participation des citoyens au monde de la recherche. En effet, la Biologie du Développement est au cœur de notre quotidien, des fleurs que nous cultivons, aux graines set fruits que nous mangeons, des petits de nos animaux de compagnie aux échographies de nos bébés en gestation et nos enfants grandissant sous nos yeux, et peut avoir de multiples applications, en médecine de la fertilité ou bien pour comprendre les maladies d’origine développementales.
Cliquez sur chaque action pour plus d’information:
10 citoyen.nes différent.es chaque demi-journée pourront venir assister gratuitement aux conférences scientifiques et aux sessions de présentations sur affiches. Cette action permettra de démystifier ce qu’est un congrès scientifique et montrer comment se partage le savoir au niveau international. Elle permettra en outre des nombreuses possibilités d’interactions entre citoyen.nes et scientifiques de tous pays, et d’ouvrir une fenêtre inhabituelle sur le métier de chercheur.se. Enfin, elle permettra aux citoyen.nes de voir comment la science se construit de façon rigoureuse et comment elle est questionnée par les pairs. Cette action bénéficie du soutien de HFSP. Les citoyen.nes qui souhaitent assister à une session d’une demi-journée (si les conditions sanitaires le permettent) peuvent s’inscrire gratuitement ici.

Suite à une journée de présentation des thèmes et modèles de chercheurs en Biologie du Développement de la SFBD organisée par Maëva Luxey, un partenariat entre la Société Française de Biologie du Développement (la SFBD) et l’atelier de Didactique visuelle de la HEAR, dont le thème est cette année « jeux de papier », a permis la création d’ouvrages imprimés didactiques sur les sujets présentés, à destination de différents publics non-initiés. Ces livres-œuvres ont été réalisés par les 14 étudiantes et étudiants d’année 3, encadrés par Olivier Poncer et Olivier-Marc Nadel, d’octobre 2021 à janvier 2022. Ces 14 supports de médiation créatifs, élaborés chacun en tandem avec un.e chercheur.se particulier, seront exposés tout au long de notre 3e congrès international franco-japonais « New frontiers in developmental biology : celebrating the diversity of life », dans l’Aula du Palais Universitaire.
Nous vous demandons de porter un masque à tout moment dans l’Aula
Pour ce projet proposé par Glenda Comai, notre ambition est d’offrir au grand public un film d’animation scientifique et poétique dédié à l’une des énigmes les plus fascinantes de la biologie : comment un organisme sophistiqué, composé de milliards de cellules assemblées en organes fonctionnels, peut émerger à partir d’une cellule unique, le zygote ? Ce film « pop » rendra compte de la richesse des couleurs, des formes et des processus dynamiques liées à notre domaine de recherche afin de sensibiliser un large public. Ces formes feront écho à celles de « la cité ». La similitude du champ lexical entre urbanisme et biologie nous intéresse particulièrement (tissu urbain, noyau d’une ville, etc.). Julien Ribot, plasticien/musicien ayant participé à des projets de video-mapping de portée internationale, utilisera comme matériel pour sa création des images obtenues par les scientifiques japonais, français et européens participant au congrès.
Pour des exemples des réalisations précédentes de Julien Ribot, veuillez cliquer ici, ici, ici ou encore là.
Voici des extraits de cette nouvelle création:
This French-Japanese scientific meeting “New Frontiers in Developmental Biology – Celebrating the Diversity of Life” is planned as two events, to actively integrate this meeting into our society. We will therefore propose in parallel a series of public engagement actions altogether entitled “Strasbourg in the light of Biology” in order to increase the participation and awareness of citizens to research. Indeed, Developmental Biology is at the heart of our daily life, from the flowers we grow, to the seeds and fruits we eat, from the litters of our pets to our babies viewed by ultrasound in gestation to our children growing up under our eyes. This branch of science can have multiple applications, in fertility medicine or to understand diseases of developmental origin.
Please click on each action for details:
10 different (non-scientists) citizens will be able to attend the scientific conferences and poster sessions each half day for free. This action will demystify what a scientific congress is and show how knowledge is shared at the international level. It will also provide many opportunities for interaction between citizens and scientists from around the world, and open an unusual window on the research profession. Finally, it will allow lay people to see how science is built in a rigorous way and how it is questioned by peers. This action is supported by HFSP. Citizens who wish to attend a half-day session (sanitary situation permitting) can register for free here.
Please note that :
– It is on a first-come, first-served basis; a total of 10 slots per half-day will be offered
– Registration is possible for only one half-day per person for the duration of the meeting
– Conferences will be conducted in English
– Participants must adhere to the SDB code of conduct.
– Filming or taking pictures of the lectures or posters is prohibited.
– Participants are expected to arrive before the first lecture of each session and not to leave the premises during lectures until the next break.
– Participants must not to disrupt the lectures.
– Non-scientific participants are welcome to approach the speakers during the breaks and ask questions, but should leave the question and answer session after each lecture for technical questions from scientific participants.
-To ensure an easier and smooth return of all participants to their home country, we ask you to please wear a mask at all times in the conference room (salle Pasteur). Thank you for your understanding
Volunteer international researchers participating in the congress will present their work on posters to small groups of high school students at the beginning of the congress poster sessions. Thus, the students will experience how the latest knowledge is shared, and, through multiple interactions between students and researchers, the discovery of the researcher’s job, as well as gain some English practice. This action is organized in partnership with the Maison pour la Science Alsace and the IGBMC.
The participants of the congress volunteering to present their poster (once) in 5 minutes in terms accessible to high school students can register here, or indicate it on the form when submitting their abstract.
Contact for the teachers : sfbd.2022.jsdb@gmail.com
Please wear a mask at all times during the poster sessions.
Two conferences for the general public will be proposed, presented by a French researcher and a renowned Japanese researcher, which will take place at the start and the end of the scientific congress. They will be organized in collaboration with the Maison Universitaire France Japon and the Jardin des Sciences, and supported by the SFBD.
November 7, 10am30 (in French): Chris Bowler (in connection with the mission “Tara Oceans“, an expedition to the heart of the biodiversity of the oceans). See also the JdS schedule of events.
November 10, 6pm, Salle Pasteur of the University Palace (in English): Shigeru Kuratani, a world specialist who researches the morphological innovations during evolution. See also the schedule of events of the Maison Universitaire France-Japon.

Abstract of Chris Bowler’s Conference: The immense microscopic world of the oceans explored by the TARA expeditions
As part of the Tara Oceans project, an international team of researchers has mapped the biodiversity of a wide range of marine planktonic organisms, exploring their the biodiversity of a wide range of marine planktonic organisms, exploring their interactions interactions and ways of acting on their environment. These data constitute an unprecedented resource for the scientific community, including a catalogue of several million new genes from microscopic organisms, which will transform the study of climate change and the impact of humans in the oceans. Chris Bowler, research director at CNRS and member of the project, will talk about these missions and his passion for these single-celled marine organisms and their life cycle.
Abstract of Shigueru Kuratani’s Conference:
How did the inner ear appear to help us keep our balance? What is the origin of the thyroid in our distant ancestors? More generally, how were new forms and functions generated during evolution?
To answer these questions, the Professor Kuratani compares the embryonic development of different species occupying different positions on the evolutionary tree. Indeed, evolution is the result of the transformation of living organisms over time. These transformations can give rise to novelties, such as morphological modifications, that can be transmitted to the descendants over generations. In the manner of a detective, he thus retraces how organs appeared or evolved over time.
His work focuses in particular on vertebrates, a group of animals to which we belong and are characterized by the presence of vertebrae, and that appeared more than 500 million years ago. Pr. Kuratani’s favorite models are the lamprey, one of the oldest vertebrates still in existence, and the hagfish, which has an even older evolutionary origin, before the appearance of vertebrae. These fascinating little animals have a morphology reminiscent of eels, but their particularity is that they do not have jaws.
Come and discover how Professor Kuratani’s studies comparing the embryonic development of these two unusual species has allowed him to better understand the emergence of features specific to vertebrates, such as the architecture of the brain, the inner ear or the thyroid.
Please wear a mask at all times in the conference room (salle Pasteur)
These workshops on animal and plant Developmental Biology have been created by SFBD researchers with the help of the Jardin des Sciences (JdS) and will visit primary, middle and high school classes in the region. These workshops aim to better understand the scientific process, its rigour and workflow, to increase knowledge in biology, to intrigue, and to discover the job of a researcher. Multiple partners are involved, from the realisation and financing to the implementation of these workshops: SFBD, JdS, Maison pour la Science Alsace, IGBMC.
We encourage researchers participating in the congress to volunteer and participate in these workshops, by registering here.

Following a day of presentation of the themes and models of researchers in Developmental Biology of the SFBD organized by Maëva Luxey, a partnership between the French Society of Developmental Biology (SFBD) and the workshop of Visual Didactics of the HEAR, whose theme this year is “paper games”, allowed the creation of didactic printed works on the presented subjects, intended for various non-initiated public. These book works were created by 14 students in year 3, supervised by Olivier Poncer and Olivier-Marc Nadel, from October 2021 to January 2022. These 14 creations, each developed in tandem with a particular researcher, will be exhibited throughout our 3rd international Franco-Japanese conference “New frontiers in developmental biology: celebrating the diversity of life”, in the Aula of the Palais Universitaire.
Please wear a mask at all times in the Aula
With this project proposed by Glenda Comai, our ambition is to offer to the general public a scientific and artistic animated film dedicated to one of the most fascinating enigmas of biology: how a sophisticated organism, composed of billions of cells assembled in functional organs, can emerge from a single cell, the zygote? This “pop” film will capture the richness of colours, shapes and dynamic processes related to our field of research in order to educate a wide audience. These forms will echo those of “the city”. The similarity of the lexical field between urbanism and biology interests us particularly (urban fabric, core of a city, etc.). Julien Ribot, a visual artist/musician who has participated in video-mapping projects of international scope, will use images obtained by Japanese, French and European scientists participating in the congress as material for his creation.
For examples of Julien Ribot’s previous work, please click here, here, here or here.

Abstract guidelines
Abstracts should contain fewer than 2000 characters, excluding title, authors and affiliations
Abstracts received before the due date will be considered for oral presentations and/or poster presentations. If your abstract is accepted for a talk, it will be included in an abstract booklet that will be distributed to all conference participants.
Abstract Selection criteria
Applicants will be selected for talks based on the quality of their abstract, taking into account the relevance of the topic, the frontier character of their work and exciting recent results. We encourage participants to present unpublished results. Additionally, a fair gender balance will be considered and significant regional bias will be avoided.
The meeting’s Scientific Committee will select the abstracts for oral presentations.
Poster specifications
The poster space will be 90 x 120 cm (width x height), which corresponds to A0 vertical format (or 16 pages in A4 format).
