EGGED - Edinburgh Gallus Genomics and Embryonic Development Workshop 2024 The next EGGED workshop will take place in July 2024EMBO will coordinate event registration - Registration closedMore information about EGGED here EGGED will bring together the world’s chicken embryology experts to share their skills and showcase the exceptional resourcefulness of the chicken embryo.The workshop is open to researchers with a range of experience; from students and early career researchers to group leaders and principal investigators. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for scientists to share, learn and develop embryological techniques that use the chicken embryo and importantly, to shape the future of chicken developmental biology resources and approaches.In 2022, this is what attendees said;Great talks from a range of disciplines including field leaders. Core techniques covered. Opportunity for independent work surrounded by experts. Great introduction to the model system.Great scope of topics and techniques - Excellent size (number of participants) and just the right duration - Excellent accommodation and learning facilities - Loved (!) the final dinner/dance. EGGED 2024 will provide hands-on training in fundamental and cutting-edge developmental biology techniques, including;In-ovo manipulation- tissue grafting, bead application, electroporation, over-expression, knock-down approachesEx-ovo culture and electroporationRNA in situ hybridisationTransgenesis and gene editingFunctional genomicsChicken cell and organoid cultureTool makingImaging approachesNetworking eventsSandpit discussions to establish the forward momentum of the fieldParticipants will have access to the unique transgenic chicken lines available from the National Avian Research Facility (NARF) including the "Roslin Green" GFP, "Flamingo" dtTomato, membrane GFP, "Chameleon" Cre-inducible mini-Brainbow and Cas9. At EGGED, participants will be encouraged to undertake their own experiments with eggs from these lines to generate preliminary data. New for 2024 - Extended Workshop for Beginners and Experts (spaces limited)Those new to the chicken embryo or expert researchers keen to collect data during the workshop can apply to extend the standard 4-day workshop.EGGED Beginners — Researchers new to the chicken embryo can apply to attend an introductory course on Monday 8th July.EGGED Experts — Advanced researchers can extend the workshop to facilitate pilot data collection beginning on Monday 8th July, with the option of finishing data collection on Saturday 13th. Organisers — Megan Davey, James Glover, Ana Hernández Rodríguez and Ruth Williams. If you have any queries about the event, please contact EGGED@roslin.ed.ac.uk Image FundingThe Roslin Institute, R(D)SVS and the NARF have received a Saltire Facilitation Network Award from The Royal Society of Edinburgh to hold practical workshops in both 2022 and 2024. EGGED 2024 will be supported by The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).

Held over four days in July 2024 at the Roslin Institute and the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at the Easterbush campus, UK.
