The Plant Cell Atlas (PCA) attends and hosts a variety of events to support our mission: to build a diverse scientific community that will set standards for generating and integrating large plant data sets, create high-quality resources and tools to advance plant science, and provide excellent networking and interdisciplinary training opportunities for early career scientists.
Upcoming Events
May 9, 2024
Spatial Omics Workshop
This free, virtual workshop will bring together world experts developing and using cutting edge Spatial Omics tools. Participants will hear about cutting-edge techniques developed for animal systems and the applications of advanced spatial omics methods in plant research. Learn more and register to attend.

3rd Plant Cell Atlas Symposium
Registration and abstract submissions are open for the 3rd Plant Cell Atlas Symposium! This is a free, virtual conference. The Symposium will feature investigators who's work involves Synthetic Biology, Single-Cell and Spatial Omics, Imaging, and Comparative Biology in the context of plant science and provide a space for researchers interested in these and other topics related to the development of a plant cell atlas. Register and submit an abstract.
Abstract Submission Deadline - Talks: April 30, 2024
Those whose abstracts have been selected for a talk will be notified by May 10, 2024.

Plant Cell Atlas SynBio Hackathon
Applications are open for the first PCA SynBio Hackathon! This event will be held on Michigan State University's campus in East Lansing, MI, USA after the 3rd PCA Symposium ends. A hackathon is a time-bound competitive event in which participants collaborate to solve problems and innovate. This hackathon will focus on the design of synthetic genetic circuits to program plants with new functions. The winning design(s) will be subject to final checks before commercial DNA synthesis and cloning into a plant transformation vector and the final vector(s) will be transformed into crop plants at a US-based crop transformation facility. Apply here to participate.
