Chemical Tools for Complex Biological Systems IV
The fourth installment of our ChemTools conference will bring together experts in the development of chemistry-based tools that unravel signaling networks within cells and tissues. Presentations and discussions will focus on three major themes: 1) major platforms and analytical tools to measure cells and tissue networks, 2) methods to perturb biological networks in cells and tissues, and 3) applications of these tools to make novel insights to biological systems.
Janelia will cover lodging and meals for all participants, and travel support is available to those in need (please indicate need in that portion of the application). Participants are expected to stay for the duration of the meeting.
The meeting will begin at 6pm ET on the first day and end by 1pm ET on the last.
Applications deadline: Dec 5, 2025 (11:59pm ET)
Please note: Because Janelia conferences are intentionally small and selective, we may not be able to accommodate all applicants. We strive for a broad representation across labs and therefore may limit participation to one person per group. Preference is given to applicants who are active researchers in the field and intend to present their work as a poster or selected talk.
