Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that we will hold the NIBB-Princeton Symposium titled "Imaging and Quantitative Biology" on Oct. 28-30, 2019 at the Okazaki Conference Center in Okazaki, Japan. This meeting will be the second joint meeting aimed at promoting academic exchange between the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) and Princeton University to be hosted by NIBB, and will be held around the time of the launch of the International Research Collaboration Center (IRCC) at NINS last year and of its new division, Quantitative and Imaging Biology (QIB), in April this year.
 
It has been recently emphasized that understanding living systems will only be achieved by multidisciplinary approaches rather than a single discipline. To solve important unsettled questions in life sciences, new technologies, such as state-of-the-art bioimaging and omics analyses which are born by virtue of the marriage of different fields, are essential in addition to conventional disciplines. Therefore, we are happy to have excellent speakers from both NINS institutes and Princeton University, who will cover various topics ranging from imaging technologies including single-molecule imaging, and omics approaches such as single-cell transcriptome and proteome, to theoretical tools to understand complex systems, in attendance at this meeting.

In addition to the invited speakers, poster presentations by participants are also welcome. Your participation is sincerely encouraged and is essential to the success of this meeting. 

We look forward to seeing you in Okazaki in October.

Organizing committee:
Mike Levine (Princeton Univ.)
Danelle Davenport (Princeton Univ.)
Kazuhiro Aoki (NIBB)
