Cell Biology Virtual Event Series 2022

Labroots and the Cell Biology Planning Committee are excited to announce the 6th Annual Event in the Cell Biology Virtual Event Series! The September 21st event aims to provide an opportunity for industry experts and academia experts to discuss recent discoveries in biological research, advancements in laboratory techniques, and new tools for cell research.

The Cell Biology 2022 Virtual Event continues to create a valuable platform for inspiring global and interdisciplinary collaboration in a virtual environment, to study cells – their physiological properties, structure, the organelles they contain, environmental interactions, life cycle, division and death, on a microscopic and molecular level.

This year's event includes the following tracks:

  • Basic Cell Biology - Advancements in basic cell biology can influence the larger field in big ways. 
  • Translational Cell Biology - Applying discoveries in cell biology to the fields of health & medicine can be a long and complicated road. How can this research be more effectively translated to directly benefit humanity? 
  • Quantitative Cell Biology - Experimental measurements and mathematical modeling have become integral components of modern cell biology.
  • Organ-On-A-Chip Technologies - Microphysiological devices continue to grow in popularity across academic and industry laboratories. This track addresses advances in these technologies and their potential applications for the field at large. 

Call for Posters — Share your research with a global audience. Labroots virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present data to a global audience via a PDF poster and optional video summary. This way you can discuss your results with interested colleagues through email and in our online networking lounge. Plan now to have your poster included in the 2022 Cell Biology Virtual Event. Submit your abstract here

Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open for 2 years from the date of the live event, and the webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing. This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global cell biology community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.

Continuing Education

Labroots is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E. ® Program. By attending this event, you can earn 1 Continuing Education credit per presentation for a maximum of 30 credits.

Labroots is a proud partner of Chati, a virtual event platform that allows for the hosting of engaging and interactive virtual and hybrid events, catering to businesses of any vertical or size.
