Intracellular Processes II


Description:
The focus of this session is the quantitative analysis of intracellular processes at the molecular level utilizing experimental and/or modeling techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, signal transduction, intracellular trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics, metabolic and transcriptional networks, and subcellular imaging.
