We are pleased to announce a third meeting on Single Cell Analyses, which will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York. The meeting will begin with dinner and an an evening session on Wednesday March 6, and conclude with lunch on Saturday, March 9. The proposed meeting will assemble the leaders in the field, together with junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, to discuss new, cutting-edge developments and techniques in single cell analysis in bacterial, yeast, plant and animal systems.

Topics:
Genome Sequencing in Single Cells
Transcriptome Analysis of Single Cells
Single Cell Proteomics
Single Cell Metabolomics
Quantitative Imaging in Single Cells
Modeling of Single Cell Biology
Microfluidics

The format of the meeting will include six oral sessions, one poster session and technical demonstrations. Each oral session will include invited speakers and speakers selected from submitted abstracts. For this reason, abstracts from accomplished junior and senior investigators are warmly invited. As usual at Cold Spring Harbor meetings, abstracts of both poster and platform sessions will be published in an abstract book. The abstracts should focus on new and unpublished data. The organizers will select abstracts for oral or poster presentations. The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site (below) as soon as decisions have been made. We have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs.

We hope to see you at Cold Spring Harbor in March.

This conference is supported in part by Clontech Laboratories and by the Cold Spring Harbor Corporate Sponsor Program

We have funds to provide partial scholarships for individuals who are US citizens/permanent residents from minority groups under-represented in the life sciences. Please provide justification in writing to Maureen Morrow morrow@cshl.edu and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying who submit abstracts to the meeting.
