SUMMARY:DDLS Cell & Molecular Biology 2027 theme workshop: Toward a national imaging informatics strategy
DESCRIPTION:The Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) program\, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW)\, warmly welcomes you to the 2027 year DDLS Cell & Molecular Biology Conference\, taking place April 6-8\, 2026\, at Clarion Hotel\, Umeå. \n\n\n\nTarget Group: Anyone interested in data-driven life science is welcome to attend the Conference. You do not need to be part of the SciLifeLab & Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science. \n\n\n\nThis year’s theme is on how to make microscopes and image data AI-ready – with a particular focus on large images and image collections. It should thus be of especial interest to developers of all sorts of related software\, anyone running computing infrastructure\, those interested in the SciLifeLab AI strategy\, and power users who want to push the boundary of current technology. \n\n\n\nThis in-person event is divided into a two-day scientific event\, and a one day hackathon\, and discussions will focus on challenges\, opportunities\, and future directions towards a national imaging informatics strategy. But of course\, being a DDLS CMB event\, this is also the annual gathering to discuss any matters related to cell & molecular biology! \n\n\n\nThe conference begins with a light network lunch and registration on April 6\, and either ends in the afternoon April 7 (scientific part) or afternoon April 8 (those wishing to also join the hackathon). \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nRegistration deadline: December 15\, 2026 \n\n\n\nPlease register using the Nordic Congress registration system below. \n\n\n\nAs the number of workshop places is limited\, participants are encouraged to register as early as possible. To secure the best options for travel and accommodation in Umeå\, we also recommend making your travel arrangements before December 15. \n\n\n\nThe conference fee is SEK 1 800 and includes lunches (Day 1+2) and dinner (Day 1). \n\n\n\nCancellation Policy \n\n\n\nRegistration is binding but may be transferred to another participant. If there are fees associated with the registration\, such as a conference fee\, the participant is liable for the full amount of all applicable fees. For registration transfers made after February 1\, an administrative fee of 300 SEK + VAT will be charged. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to Umeå for three days of discussions\, collaboration\, and networking! \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nAbstracts\n\n\n\nAbstract submission will take place through a separate system from the Participant registration.  \n\n\n\nSubmit an Abstract\n\n\n\nTravel\n\n\n\nParticipants are encouraged to arrange their travel well in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing. \n\n\n\nFor those arriving by air\, regular city bus services connect Umeå Airport with the city centre where the venue is located. Those travelling by overnight train may find Umeå Central Station the most convenient arrival point\, as it is located closest to the conference venue. \n\n\n\nQuestions?\n\n\n\nPlease reach out to the organizing committee via johan.henriksson@umu.se  \n\n\n\nConfirmed Speakers\n\n\n\n\nJoel Luthi (BioVisionCenter\, U.
