Cell Biology Virtual Event Series 2017

Our 1st Annual Event in the Cell Biology Virtual Event Series is now On-Demand!

Join us in advancing basic biology and recent tools and techniques in cell research by coming together with like-minded colleagues.

Cell Biology 2017 creates a valuable platform for inspiring global and interdisciplinary collaboration in a virtual environment. The Conference will bring together professors, post-docs, biologists and biomedical professionals from all over the world. Attend interactive sessions, first-class exhibitions and virtual poster presentations.

A cell is the smallest individual unit of any living organism. Cell biology studies cells – their physiological properties, structure, the organelles they contain, environmental interactions, life cycle, division and death, on a microscopic and molecular level. This field spans through most scientific disciplines, studying cell imaging, stem cells, cell physiology and structure, cell signaling, cell culture, and translational biology, and encompassing other scientific fields such as cancer biology, neuroscience, genetics, bioengineering and so much more.

Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. You can participate in exactly those parts which you are interested in and be back at your desk or bench in an instant. Virtual events remove time and place restrictions and ensure that everyone who wants to participate can do so.

 


Topics for this years virtual conference included:
 

  • Stem Cell Biology
  • Cytoskeletal Dynamics, Mechanics, and Cell Motility
  • Cell Biology of Neurons 
  • Data Analysis and Informatics
  • Cell Signaling and Cancer
  • Evolutionary Cell Biology
  • Multicellular Interactions, Tissues and Organs


Continuing Education
By participating in this virtual event and watching webcast presentations, you can earn Free Continuing Education (PACE) credits. To earn educational credits, you must view an entire presentation. Following the presentation you must click on the educational credit link provided for that particular speaker and follow the required process. Once you have completed the process, you will receive a certificate for the educational credit.
