About the event.
Single-cell genomic technologies continue to develop at pace, generating new insights into cellular diversity within living systems. This event aims to bring together researchers applying single-cell technologies across a wide range of species.
The symposium covers single-cell genomics technologies and their application in microbial, plant, animal and human health and disease. Offering a forum for researchers to discuss the latest developments in single-cell genomics, whilst networking with other researchers with the intention of catalysing future development and application of single-cell genomics across the UK.
The event will feature talks from invited speakers and selected abstracts, and we are keen to capture as broad a range of single-cell applications as possible. Topics to be covered include:
- Single-cell genomics in plant and microbial research
- Single-cell genomics in health, disease and development
- Single-cell informatics
- Single-cell technology development
Abstracts
We are offering the opportunity to present your research at the symposium as a short talk, and abstracts should be submitted when you register. We would particularly like to encourage PhD students and early career researchers to submit abstracts, we have reserved plenty of time and space in the schedule to hear from you all!
- The submission deadline for abstracts is Tuesday 31 August 2021
- All abstracts must be submitted electronically as part of your registration. Submissions via email will not be accepted
- Abstract limits are 250 words (excluding title, authors and affiliations)
- Presenting author should be highlighted in bold
- Abstracts will be reviewed one a rolling basis, and you will be informed of the outcome within 2 weeks of submitting
