SUMMARY:Fluorescent Proteins and Biological Sensors VII
DESCRIPTION:In the seventh installment of this exciting conference\, we will once again showcase the development of cutting-edge tools and technology for imaging\, from cells to intact animals. Sessions will cover 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. We hope that the meeting will present a clear picture of how far these tools have come in recent years\, and what additional reagents and capabilities are still needed to advance biology. \nThe meeting will begin at 6pm on the first day and end by 1pm on the last. \nApplication deadline: June 9\, 2023 (11:59 p.m. ET)
