Do you want to meet Roel Nusse (Stanford), the father of Wnt signaling?

This message is sent on behalf of Víťa Bryja.

Dear colleagues,

next week, I am hosting Prof. Roel Nusse from Stanford University, USA who will give a Mendel Lecture on Thursday, May 30th, 2019.

He is the person who discovered Wnt proteins - that as we know now activate one of the most studied signalling pathways. His research is still focused on Wnt signaling and understanding how Wnts control stem cells, growth, development, and integrity of tissues. Below, you can see some of his publications.

Please let me know if you are interested in meeting Roel Nusse for discussions on Thursday 30th May 2019 during the day or if you want to join for informal dinner on Thursday evening.

With best regards

Víťa Bryja
