18th CRG Symposium: Single cell and single molecule biology

ALL_TABS

About

The 18th CRG Symposium will take place on 14-15 November at the PRBB Auditorium (Barcelona, Spain) and will tackle how the recent technological developments in genomics and imaging have revolutionised our ability to quantitatively analyse the properties of both single cells and single molecules.

This symposium will bring together many of the researchers at the forefront of this revolution including both those working in large-scale genomics projects such as the Human Cell Atlas and those working on the quantitative analysis and reconstitution of individual molecules and processes. The speakers will cover a wide range of fields including gene expression, neuroscience, cell biology, microbiology, cancer, non-model organisms, developmental biology, and stem cells.
