We are pleased to host the sixth annual Cold Spring Harbor meeting on quantitative approaches to cell biology which will begin in the evening of Tuesday April 11, and run through lunch on Friday, April 14th.
The focus of this meeting will be on quantitative approaches to cellular dynamics. The specific goal is to foster creative and fruitful interactions between experimental cell biologists and mathematical computational scientists who have common interests in understanding the dynamics of cellular processes. The meeting will emphasize the dynamic interplay of experiment, quantitative data analysis and the use of mathematical models and computer simulations to describe data, develop testable hypotheses and to gain deeper insights into systems level design principles that govern cellular dynamics. In addition, the meeting will provide an opportunity for interactions among researchers interested in the dynamics of normal healthy cells and those who wish to understand how those dynamics are disrupted in cancer cells.
Software Tutorials: In addition to abstracts for presentations on scientific work we also welcome abstracts for tutorials that present tools for dynamic modeling of biological systems. These tutorials will take place in the afternoon of the second and third day of the meeting and will be approximately 50 minutes in length. Tutorials should provide an overview of the basic functionality of the software as well as demonstrating more advanced features for cutting edge applications.
Topics:
- Single Cell Dynamics
- Membrane Dynamics
- Subcellular Dynamics
- Self-Organization of the Cytoskeleton
- Signaling Dynamics
- Tissue Dynamics
- Dynamics of Cell Fate Determination
- Computational Image Analysis

Click the tabs above to register for the meeting and submit an abstract. Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection of material for oral and poster presentations will be made by the organizers and individual session chairs. The status of abstracts (i.e., talk or poster) will be posted as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
We eager to have as many young people as possible attend this meeting. As such, we have significant funds set aside to support young scientists who actively participate in the meeting by submitting an abstract and presenting either a poster or a talk. Please apply in writing via email to Val Pakaluk and state your financial needs.
Social Media
The designated hashtag for this meeting is #cshlcomp. Note that you must obtain permission from an individual presenter before live-tweeting or discussing his/her talk, poster, or research results on social media. Click the Policies tab above to see our full Confidentiality & Reporting Policy.
We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in April.
