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:

Single Cell Opportunities
Limits of Measurement
Spatial Single Cell Biology
Novel Technologies, Devices & Chemistries
Analytical Challenges, Models and New Applications

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 The abstracts should focus on new and unpublished data.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