Single-cell biology: resolving biological complexity, one cell at a time

Abstract

In March 2018, over 250 researchers came together at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridge, UK, to present their latest research in the area of single-cell biology. A highly interdisciplinary meeting, the Single Cell Biology conference covered a variety of topics, ranging from cutting-edge technological innovation, developmental biology and stem cell research to evolution and cancer. This meeting report summarises the key findings presented and the major research themes that emerged during the conference.

Keywords: Single-cell biology; Single-cell technologies; Stem cells.
