Meeting Reports: 3rd Neurogenesis Conference

Summary

The long-awaited third edition of the Neurogenesis Conference, with a focus on “Lifelong Development and Disease”, finally took place from February 7th to 11th 2024 at the Fiesta Americana Condesa in Cancun, Mexico. Co-organized by Sebastian Jessberger (University of Zurich) and Hongjun Song (University of Pennsylvania), this reunion marked the first neurogenesis conference since the COVID-19 pandemic, with the last event being held back in 2019. This year’s edition was a resounding success, combining exceptional science, dynamic participants and a cheerful, relaxed atmosphere. Attendees were eager to present recent and unpublished data, exchange ideas, as well as debate new and sometimes daring concepts.

Overall, the 2024 Neurogenesis conference was undeniably a fantastic comeback of the Fusion neurogenesis conference series.
