Imaging Cell Dynamics

Organisers: Erika Holzbaur, Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, Rob Parton and Michael Way

Date: 14 - 17 May 2023

Location: Pestana Palace Hotel, Lisbon, Portugal

This meeting will be the fourth instalment of our highly successful Cell Dynamics Meeting series, and will focus on ‘Imaging Cell Dynamics’. Emphasis will be placed on researchers addressing biological questions using the latest technologies rather than engineers and optical experts developing new microscopes to ensure the meeting still has a cellular focus.

This meeting represents a unique opportunity to bring together many different experts working at the interface between cell biology and imaging who use advanced light and electron microscopy approaches, as well as leading developers of imaging analysis approaches. With talks from an outstanding list of speakers and selected delegates, we hope to delve further into this important area of research and inspire PIs, postdocs and students.

Topics include:

Super resolution imaging
Correlative light and electron microscopy
Cryo-electron tomography
Organelle dynamics
Membrane trafficking
Cytoskeleton
Neurons and neurodegeneration
Tissue dynamics
Immune response

About our Journal Meetings

The teams behind our journals bring you the most relevant and challenging topics for discussion through a series of international meetings.

Important meetings serving the communities around our journals.

Each meeting is individually crafted to suit the topic and audience, ranging from small intimate meetings with a focus on intense and detailed discussion to larger meetings with a focus on networking and opportunities for attendees to more widely share their latest research.

Themes explored in the Journal Meetings go on to be discussed in the Company’s journals, helping to shape the field and even the journals themselves.

About our Workshops

The Company of Biologists is widely known for its excellence in scientific publishing and it now runs a successful high level series of Workshops. The Workshops provide leading experts and early career scientists from a diverse range of scientific backgrounds with a stimulating environment for the cross fertilization of interdisciplinary ideas. The programmes are carefully developed and are intended to champion the novel techniques and innovations that will underpin important scientific advances.
