Single Cell Biology (L1) by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology

Single Cell Biology (L1) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held from Jan 13 - 17, 2019 at Beaver Run Resort & Conference Center, Breckenridge, Colorado, United States of America.

Course Description :
Individual cells are the building blocks of all metazoan organisms, and the importance of analyzing biology at the single cell level has long been recognized. However, only recently have technological developments begun to allow quantitative single cell analyses on a broad scale, leading to an explosion of international single-cell research. This is an interdisciplinary field with fast-developing data acquisition modalities together with bespoke computational approaches, and now is a major driver of progress across many areas of biology, diagnostics and therapy. Dedicated conferences bringing together scientists with different technological, computational and biomedical focus are therefore crucial to ensure mutual communication and to shape future developments. Current single cell meetings focus on high-throughput molecular snapshot measurements and their computational analysis. This conference will go beyond by emphasizing biological and biomedical applications of single cell approaches, including dynamic live cell measurements, to better understand the molecular control of cell fates and multi-cellular tissue generation in health and disease.

Plenary Session Topics :
• Single Cell Computational Biology
• Development at Single Cell Resolution
• From Single Cell Measurements to Molecular Mechanisms
• Imaging in 3D and in vivo
• New Technology for New Biology
• Extracting Information from High-Dimensional Measurements
• Reconstructing Cell Lineages
• Neuroscience at Single Cell Resolution plus two workshops

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
