Conference Overview
This symposium will cover the life of Fotis Kafatos at its various stages, seen through the eyes of his colleagues at the time. It will also take in his major contributions to science and to the scientific community and include reminiscences from those who worked closely with him. Last but not least, it will feature exciting ongoing research from the areas to which he devoted many years – evolution and development, mosquitoes and malaria.
