Poster Session


Description:
The meeting brings together researchers using quantitative approaches to advance the understanding and application of biology at the molecular level. These approaches are contributing to the development of analytical, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies that are directly relevant to public health. The meeting will also stimulate efforts to integrate these approaches across the molecular, cellular, and higher scales of biological complexity in a single-track Gordon-style conference format that includes hotel accommodations and most meals.
