Whitehead Institute Symposium XXIV
Friday, September 29, 2006
Kresge Auditorium, MIT
This year’s Whitehead Symposium will explore how
imaging is providing new insight into the most fundamental
processes in molecular cell biology. By revealing the
dynamics of living systems, microscopy has become an
invaluable tool for illuminating unsolved problems of
molecular and cellular structure and function. (Read
"The
New Age of Bioimaging" in Paradigm magazine to learn
more.) Join world renowned biologists in looking through
the lens of the microscope to observe phenomena ranging
from infection of cells by viruses to the plasticity
of neuronal networks at the symposium on September 29.
