This year, we have a number of international and national speakers lined up to discuss the current state and future perspectives of single cell research. The program of this one-day conference features oral presentations as well as interactive panel discussions. In addition, you will get to listen to short pitches on selected SciLifeLab scientific highlights from 2015, vote for your favourite and experience the prize giving ceremony. Outside the lecture hall, there will be ample time for discussions and mingle.
