2024- Oxford

Building on the success of the last four Genetics of Ocular Development (GoOD) meetings, we are very pleased to announce that the 2024 meeting will take place from:

Monday 23rd September (arrival), with the main meeting days on the 24 - 25th September 2024 at New College, Oxford, UK.

New College, part of the University of Oxford, was founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, and is steeped in historical, academic, and architectural excellence. The college was designed with cloisters and a bell tower and boasts the first enclosed quadrangle of its type, completed in 1386, with the original City Walls coursing through; all remain essential parts of college life today.

The conference itself will be located in a brand new architecturally stunning building Gradel Quad, New College, Oxford located adjacent to the main part of the College, which houses a beautiful lecture hall and new en-suite accommodation available to book, right in the heart of Oxford. A formal Dinner will be held in the historic Hall at New College.

The GoOD Meeting 2024 presents a fantastic opportunity for scientists and clinicians involved in the genetic research into eye anomalies, therapeutics and patient care to hear about the developments in the field of ocular genetics, learn of the latest research findings, meet with collaborators, establish new research opportunities and collaborations.

As a highlight, we are honoured to have two highly distinguished guest speakers - Professor Cheryl Gregory-Evans, from Vancouver, who will be speaking on “New approaches to treat ocular developmental diseases: CRISPR and stem cell technologies.” and Professor Elfride de Baere, from Ghent, who will be speaking on “Multi-omics to unravel regulatory landscapes and tackle missing heritability in inherited retinal diseases.”
