Annual international Dictyostelium conference –
Dicty 2014
from August 3rd - 7th, 2014, Potsdam,
Dictyostelium is a well known model organism, which was the basis for numerous pioneering papers
in cell biology. The Dictyostelium conference is the annual highlight for Dictyostelium researchers
from all over the world. Its tradition reaches back to 1969 where the first meeting was held in La
Jolla (USA). Since 1981 it is an annual meeting, each year organized by different researchers from
USA, Japan, Australia and Europe in their individual home countries. This year the meeting is orga-
nized by Ralph Gräf, Carsten Beta (both University of Potsdam) and Sascha Thewes (Freie Universität
Berlin) and it will be held under the auspices of the DGZ. These meetings traditionally have no invited
speakers, but their inspiring, collaborative and interdisciplinary atmosphere always attracts also the
frontmost researchers of the field to present their newest, often unpublished data. Just register to
the meeting, if you are interested in the fields of chemotaxis, development, cytoskeleton, memb-
rane trafficking, gene regulation, pathogen interactions, disease models and evolution. The price is
all-inclusive and you'll also enjoy the beautiful vicinity of the Lake Templin and Potsdam with its
UNESCO world heritage. More information and registration at
