Today's Keynote Speaker: Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, Ph.D., Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus

After important SLAS announcements, keynote speaker Lippincott-Schwartz presents "Emerging Fluorescence Technology to Study the Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Organelles within Cells." Emerging visualization technologies are playing an increasingly important role in the study of numerous aspects of cell biology, capturing processes at the level of whole organisms down to single molecules. While developments in probes and microscopes are dramatically expanding the areas of productive imaging, there are still significant roadblocks. This presentation discusses new imaging methods that can overcome these roadblocks, focusing on their potential for clarifying subcellular organelle dynamics.
