The deadline for submitting abstracts for the 2015 Conference on Quantitative BioImaging (QBI) is October 15, 2014, which is fast approaching. Please submit your abstracts for posters or contributed talks using our online abstract submission system at: http://www.quantitativebioimaging.com/apps/abstractsubmission/

This will be the third conference in this series focusing on the quantitative analysis of bioimaging data in an interdisciplinary manner, which is to be held from January 7-9, 2015, at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France.

The previous two conferences had been held in Albuquerque, NM, USA. It will bring together researchers from engineering, (bio)physics, biology, and chemistry who work on quantitative aspects of microscopy. While the first conferences had an emphasis on single molecule microscopy, we very much welcome contributions from other areas of microscopy.

We are planning extensive overview lectures on a number of important areas and hope to be dealing with these  topics in a more substantial way than what can be done typically. A major goal of the organization of the conference is to allow for significant interactions amongst the participants.

We are aiming to have no registration fee (as previous years). Details regarding available accommodation will be announced on the conference website.

For more details on the conference and information on the past conferences please see our website: www.quantitativebioimaging.com
