A series of  “Conférences Jacques Monod” meetings, was held in 2012, 2015 and 2018 and focused on specific problems of developmental biology. The 2023 CJM conference that will be held May 22-26, 2023 in Roscoff, France will focus on later stages of development and explore fundamental aspects of regeneration, homeostasis of tissue and the mechanisms of aging, when these processes no longer function properly. The program of the conference will include six thematic sessions, each including speakers working in different model organisms with different approaches.

The CJM will cover the following broad topics in development biology and aging:

• Developmental control of Aging
• Transcription control and chromatin regulation of cell fate and aging
• Stem cells and their link with aging
• Regeneration
• Development of patterns       
• Senescence and plasticity

We encourage the application of participants of diverse backgrounds working on a wide range of topics in developmental biology. Additional speakers and poster presentations will be selected based on abstracts to further enhance the diversity of the meeting, with opportunities for younger as well as established scientists.

Keywords: Development, stem cells, organoids, Cell fate, pattern formation, regeneration, aging, tissue growth, tissue homeostasis, morphogenesis, metabolism, modeling
