Cells, Sensors and Systems Symposium
Thursday, October 22, 2015, from 10 am to 5 pm
Sanford Consortium For Regenerative Medicine
Co-Chairs: Jeffrey H. Price (SBP and Scintillon Institute) and John P. Nolan (Scintillon Institute)
Chair Emeritus and Program Advisor: Robert F. Murphy (Carnegie Mellon University)
Program Committee: Mark Mercola (UCSD), Jason Kreisberg (SDCSB, UCSD), Vincent Chen (SBP), Evan Snyder (SBP), Sumit Chanda (SBP) and Jiwu Wang (Scintillon)
Organized by: Cytometry Development Workshop and San Diego Center for Systems Biology (UCSD)
Welcome to the 25th Cytometry Development Workshop, Tutorials, and Cells, Sensors, and Systems Symposium. The goal of these events is to bring together scientists and engineers working to develop and apply new technologies for cell analysis.
This symposium is a one day event, open to all, featuring cutting edge talks in cytometry technology and applications by leaders in the field. Prior to this symposium, the Cytometry Development Tutorials will be a day of educational presentations on contemporary topics in image and flow cytometry. These meetings of cytometry technology developers is focused on the latest in hardware, software, and reagents and assays. Together, these three events cover the present and future of single cell analysis.
Academic cosponsors: SBP Medical Discovery Institute and Scintillon Institute
