About us
Young Embryologist Network (YEN) is an academic body founded in 2008 as a platform for Early Career developmental biologists. We have since organised a conference annually reaching a wide audience of scientists across the UK and Europe.
Improving science
Our conferences and perspective talks focus on a variety of scientific and social issues for the benefit of the wider Dev Bio community.
