Scientific Overview
Understanding the hierarchical organization of molecules, multi-protein assemblies, organelles and networks within the interior
of a eukaryotic cell is a challenge of fundamental interest in cell biology. A wide variety of microscopic and spectroscopic
methods already exist for imaging intact cells and their components: modern fluorescence microscopic methods provide powerful
tools for imaging at spatial resolutions in the micron range, while emerging methods in electron microscopy can be used to image
the arrangement of protein assemblies at resolutions of 1 nm or better. To take advantage of these rapid advances in imaging
technology, it is critical to develop and apply advanced computational strategies for image processing that can cope both with the
volume and complexity of the data. This conference seeks to bring together leaders at this interdisciplinary interface of image
processing and stimulate new partnerships to address computational problems at this exciting frontier of cell biology. The one-week
meeting will bring together biologists, physicists, mathematicians and specialists in microscopy and image analysis.
