Kerlouan Brittany - 2023 october 9th - 13th

Interdisciplinary Characterization of Biological Systems that Control Cell Proliferation, Differentiation, Migration and Apoptosis (PDMA) in Health and Disease.

The construction of an organism (development) and its plasticity, i.e. its adaptability to changes in its environment throughout adulthood, can lead to both health and disease. Generation, Regeneration and Degeneration are based on a complex -hitherto unknown- interplay between cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis (PDMA).


The outcome of PDMA regulation throughout life will be predominantly the body maintenance and evolution. However, a PDMA dysregulation may be associated with diseases as diverse as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, or multiple other diseases occurring in animals and humans. In response to challenges of the environment, the accurate response of an animal is usually adaptation. Otherwise, the disease installs, or the death occurs.


Coming to Kerlouan, you will board to a scientific excursion that will lead you to encompass your own field of study. You will immerse into a multidisciplinary approach aiming to answer the question of PDMA regulation. Biologists, mathematicians and philosophers already subscribed to attend this international meeting.


Participate with us to unravel the basic mechanisms and principles underlying PDMA regulation. Your work will contribute to the advance of science. Together, we will synergize to pioneer the basic research that will, in turn, provide insights into potential applications for a healthy life.


Registration payment can be made online with a credit card. Please contact us at contact@fractones.org. to request an alternate method of payment such as a check or wire transfer.


The registration for this meeting is Euros 300.

For those who need transportation from and to the airport/train station, please contact us at contact@fractones.org We will pick you up at your arrival with vans.


The aim of this meeting is to promote fruitful exchanges between researchers. Therefore, we favour that you attend at all dinners and lunches we have organised. It is highly recommended that participants contact us for accommodation. We have reserved several vacation properties. Kerlouan is located in a beautiful countryside, 1 km from the see (la Manche), the straight between Brittany and United Kingdom. The meeting will be held in the meeting rooms of the City Hall of Kerlouan. During the meeting, you will have the occasion to visit this gorgeous area,(plage de Boutrouilles, touristic site of Meneham....). We will bring you with vans for these small outings. You will also visit the Manor of Keryvoas, which has accommodations for you, and the laboratory (currently in construction) behind the ruins of the 16th century manor. The small number of attendants will allow us to organize ourselves all these outings, using the vans we have reserved.
