This conference has been selected as an EMBO Workshop, and the webpage has been moved to the official EMBO site.

Please note that, due to the tight schedule after EMBO approval, the abstract submission deadline is 15 December 2025.

Notice about Registration and Abstract Submission

We are pleased to announce that our meeting “Limb Development and Regeneration – Quantitative, Ecological, and Diversification Studies” has been officially selected as an EMBO | COB Workshop.
Because of this, registration and abstract submission will be managed through a new EMBO | COB website, which is currently being set up.
We understand that many of you are eager to register, and we sincerely appreciate your patience while the new website is being launched.
It should become available soon, and all registration and submission links will be provided there.

Tentatively, the registration fees will be:

  • Student / Postdoc: 50,000 JPY
  • Academic: 80,000 JPY

The abstract submission deadline (up to 200 words) is currently planned for December 12, 2025. As launch of the EMBO | COB website is taking some time, this deadline may be adjusted slightly once the site becomes available.
Further announcements will be posted here on this page once the EMBO | COB website goes live.

About the Workshop

This international conference explores how genetic programs, cellular dynamics, and environmental factors shape limb development, regeneration, and morphological diversification across species. By integrating quantitative approaches, evolutionary perspectives, and ecological insights, we aim to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and advance understanding of limb biology.
