The Individual Microbe: Single-cell Analysis and Agent-based Modeling March 18—20, 2016, ASM Headquarters, Washington, DC From the web site: Recent technological advances in single-cell microbiology, using flow cytometry, microfluidics, x-ray fluorescence microprobes, and single-cell -omics, allow for the observation of individuals within populations. Simultaneously, individual/agent-based models allow for individual microbes to be simulated. Bridging these techniques forms the foundation of individual-based microbiology of microbes. The goal of this @ASM Conference is to bring together researchers interested in applying individual observational…
