Abstract

This meeting was held to celebrate the award of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2002 to Sydney Brenner, Sir John Sulston and Robert Horvitz for their work on the worm Caenorhabditis elegans. The invited speakers included all three Nobel laureates, together with some of the pioneering researchers who had worked with them in Cambridge on the worm. The list of speakers thus reads like a Who's Who of the worm community, and the topics discussed ranged across the whole of worm biology, from germline development and embryogenesis to dosage compensation, aging, touch-cell function and the newer field of host-pathogen interactions.
