International Symposium on: The dinamically active egg: The legacy of Ernest Everett Just

Symposium - Naples, Italy

Ernest Everett Just (1883 – 1941) was a pioneering African American biologist. He was convinced that the surface of the egg cell had an "independent irritability", i.e., the ability to actively respond to the external environment and to control nuclear functions and embryonic development.

The Symposium will recapitulate the fundamental steps of his scientific and human history, and will recognize the pioneering value of his work in the light of the new results and conclusions in the area of fertilization and embryonic development.
