Typical Program

We are pleased to announce a new summer Workshop on Single Cell Techniques, which will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 16, and will conclude with dinner on Saturday night and depaartures on Sunday morning, July 19th. 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.

Tentative Topics:
Genomics
Proteomics
Metabolomics
Imaging Single Cells

Keynote Speaker:
Jeff Lichtman, Harvard University

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 The abstracts should focus on new and unpublished data.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 July.

This conference is supported in part by funds provided by the Cold Spring Harbor Corporate Sponsor Program as well as Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Inc. and the University of Pennsylvania

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 meetings@cshl.edu and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying who submit abstracts to the meeting.
