Gordon Research Conference on Single-Cell Approaches in Plant Biology
August 10-15, 2025

The Single-Cell Approaches in Plant Biology GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

Conference Description

​The Single-Cell Approaches in Plant Biology GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

Many new technologies have revolutionized biology, including advances in high resolution imaging, in vivo protein interactions, computational modeling, and single-cell analyses. These technologies are being applied to plants to dissect the functions and interactions of specialized cell types and their capacity to respond to environmental changes, interact with other organisms, grow, and reproduce. The information provided by these new technologies needs to be shared and integrated to provide fresh insights into the functional connections among diverse biomolecules, suggest new hypotheses for cellular functions, and to model cellular processes.
​
The Single-Cell Approaches in Plant Biology GRC provides 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.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Single-Cell Approaches in Plant Biology" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC.
