Conference Description
The Single-Cell Approaches in Plant Biology Gordon Research Conference will provide a forum to discuss and share cutting-edge approaches that explore plant biology from the perspective of individual cells. The conference will bring together a diverse and vibrant community of researchers interested in mapping cellular and subcellular protein localization patterns, tracking dynamic interactions between proteins, identifying the molecular components of cellular substructures, discerning complete states and transitions of specialized cell types, and integrating these disparate data points in order to generate testable models of cellular function, new research avenues, and provide solutions to societal challenges.
