About

The 2026 CRG Symposium will explore how cells are organized, evolve, and function across scales, integrating perspectives from biophysics, cell biology, evolution, and advanced imaging. By bringing together leading researchers from the cell biology community, the meeting will highlight the fundamental mechanisms that shape cellular architecture, dynamics, and compartmentalization, and how these principles support complex biological behaviors.

This year's CRG Symposium is organized by the Quantitative Cell Biology Programme.
