Royal Society International conference on developing single cell methods (UK, December 2018)

Royal Society International conference on developing single cell methods

December 2018, UK

As part of the SINGEK Research Program, an international conference on developing single cell methods will be held in the UK, December 2018. This prestigious event funded by the Royal Society will be a two-day meeting “Single cell ecology”   in central London at the Royal Society, followed by a two-day satellite meeting “Developing new approaches for the single cell manipulations and experimentation” at the Kavli Royal Society Centre, Chicheley Hall.

Both scientific discussion meetings are organised by Professor Thomas Richards (University of Exeter, supervisor of SINGEK ESR11), Dr Ramon Massana (Institute of Marine Sciences, SINGEK coordinator and supervisor of ESR1) and Professor Neil Hall (Earlham Institute, SINGEK Partner Organisation).

Overview

Interdisciplinary meeting to explore the use of single cell technologies to understand the function, diversity and interactions of microbes. By bringing together physicists who manipulate cells, microbiologists who seek to understand the nature of microbial communities and genomicists who are developing new approaches to study individual cells we will achieve a greater understanding of the potential of this new field.

There will be a poster session at 16:15 on Monday 10 December. If you would like to apply to present a poster please submit your proposed title, abstract (not more than 200 words and in third person), author list, name of the proposed presenter and institution to the Scientific Programmes team with the subject heading “Single cell ecology: poster abstract” no later than Monday 22 October 2018. Please note that places are limited and posters are selected at the scientific organiser’s discretion. Poster abstracts will only be considered if the presenter is registered to attend the meeting.

Recorded audio of the presentations will be available here after the meeting has taken place.

Meeting papers will be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions B.

 

Single cell approaches are changing how we study many biological problems. This meeting will bring together biophysicists, molecular biologists and microbial ecologists who are using these technologies to understand the natural world. The aim of this satellite meeting is to report progress, identify areas for synergy and lay down the foundations for further developing this interdisciplinary science.

There will be a poster session at 16:15 on Wednesday 12 December. If you would like to apply to present a poster please submit your proposed title, abstract (not more than 200 words and in third person), author list, name of the proposed presenter and institution to the Scientific Programmes team with the subject heading “Single cell new approaches: poster abstract” no later than Monday 22 October 2018. Please note that places are limited and posters are selected at the scientific organiser’s discretion. Poster abstracts will only be considered if the presenter is registered to attend the meeting.

Recorded audio of the presentations will be available here after the meeting has taken place.

 

Both venues will be an exciting and stimulating meeting for all SINGEK members and participants.
