The Quintay Course is a compressed version of the ֲý’s renowned Embryology course, which has been held at the ֲý every summer since 1893. Aimed at graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, the course provides state-of-the-art research training in developmental biology using embryos from a variety of organisms, from sea urchins to chicks.
