Symposium Objectives

The goal of the Plant Cell Atlas (PCA) is to bring together a community who will comprehensively describe plant cell types by integrating high-resolution subcellular and cellular location information of nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites.

Symposium Goals:
  1. Share the most exciting scientific and technological breakthroughs in plant science as it is relevant to developing a Plant Cell Atlas.
  2. Create a forum for people interested in these approaches and their application to plants to meet and network.
  3. Provide context and ideas for the SynBio Hackathon participants.

The 4 scientific sessions will be focused around each of the topics listed below in the context of plant science.
  • Theme 1: Synthetic Biology
  • Theme 2: Single-Cell and Spatial Omics
  • Theme 3: Imaging
  • Theme 4: Comparative Biology​

PCA Code of Conduct
Designated Safety Officers: TBA

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
“The Plant Cell Atlas operates predominantly out of Michigan State University. We acknowledge that Michigan State University occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg – the Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. We affirm Indigenous sovereignty and hold Michigan State University accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.”
