Chemical Tools for Complex Biological Systems
This meeting will bring together leading experts in the development of chemistry-based tools that help to unravel signaling networks within cells and tissues. The major themes will be: 1) design of analytical tools for cells and tissue networks, including imaging agents, 2) methods to perturb biological networks in cells and tissues, and 3) strategies to build artificial/model cellular networks for study. Additionally, we hope to have a special session of biologists and/or microscope builders discussing their biological system and its unsolved problems.
