Special Interest subgroup meeting:

Room 147 A/B


High Performance Image Analysis and Photomanipulative Techniques for  
Cell Biology

Abstract:
     Advances light microscopic imaging of cells have ushered in a  
new era in cell biology, and have increased awareness and development  
of systems level biology at the single cell level. One focus of this  
workshop will be on the utilization of these technologies to  
quantitatively investigate gene regulation, mRNA splicing, stem cell  
differentiation, and the extracellular matrix. A second focus will be  
on biosensors that provide subcellular readouts of key signaling  
molecules and on photomanipulative techniques, including the  
photoactivation of caged compounds or chromophore assisted laser  
inactivation (CALI or FALI) of selected components, as an important  
complement to traditional genetic manipulations.
