Fluorescent Proteins and Biological Sensors III
Building on discussions from the first two meetings in this series, this conference showcased the development of cutting-edge tools and technology for imaging, from cells to intact animals. Sessions covered the design and discovery of new fluorescent proteins (and intriguing alternatives), and their incorporation into sensors for signaling molecules and cellular states. Innovative imaging modalities making use of such reagents, as well as biological discoveries gleaned from such experiments, will also be presented. It is our hope that the meeting can present a clear picture of how far these tools have come in recent years, and what additional reagents and capabilities are required to continue the advance of the Age of Light.
