Microbial multicellularity: biofilms, swarms, developmental and functional differentiation in microbial collectives
Microbial multicellularity: biofilms, swarms, developmental and functional differentiation in microbial collectives
Synopsis
Living organisms do not live in isolation. Even unicellular microorganisms form assemblies displaying emergent properties. The study of microbial multicellularity in bacteria, yeast, or amoeba, among others, is undergoing a renaissance and recent findings suggest remarkable and unsuspected complexity in large collectives of microbial cells such as biofilms. In this symposium we would like to showcase the latest research advances aiming to decipher this complexity by integrating the molecular, cellular, and biophysical levels.

The symposium will be held during the 47th annual meeting of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan, November 27-29, 2024 in Fukuoka, Japan. This is largest annual event in the field in Japan and it attracts over 3000 participants. The conference has a long history and features a large number of oral and poster presentation in both English and Japanese as well as other outreach sessions, etc.

About Fukuoka
About Fukuoka
While Fukuoka may be internationally a lesser known city it is rated as one of the most desirable places to live in Japan because of its intermediate size, laid-back lifestyle, vibrant food culture and mild climate. With sandy beaches and a bustling city center those who come to work never want to leave.
