Cell Biology @ Scale 2023

Recent technological advances are transforming the scale at which cell biology can be conducted, from new imaging and labeling strategies to the systematic engineering of genes and their expression. As a result, high-throughput, multiplexed approaches are greatly expanding the biological space that can be experimentally accessed. But the ability to conduct “cell biology at scale” is not simply an expansion of the number of experiments that can be performed – it represents a fundamental change in the way that such experiments can be conceived and the questions that can be answered.

To realize this potential, we need to re-evaluate core experimental goals, newly accessible biological questions, technological approaches, data collection, curation, dissemination, and effective strategies for computational analysis. We also need a collaborative, integrative, and interdisciplinary strategy to combine the capabilities and efforts from diverse laboratories for the robust sharing of techniques and datasets.

As a first step toward achieving this vision, we are organizing the CB@S workshop to bring together a range of stakeholders from diverse disciplines to present recent developments and spark a robust discussion that will articulate key, actionable goals toward true cell biology at scale.

Please register to attend (see button above). A series of small talks will be selected from abstracts.
