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.
Abstracts will be submitted through the registration form. Language: All abstracts must be written in English. Deadline: abstracts MUST BE RECEIVED no later than July 17th. Notification of acceptance will be mailed by September 4th 2026. Only the presenting/first author will receive the email notification of acceptance or rejection, and is responsible for informing all co-authors of the status of the abstract.
Content of the Abstract
Abstracts are limited to 300 words. Abstracts must contain: title, authors, primary institution, purpose of the study, methods used, summary of the results and conclusion reached. Abstracts will be published as submitted. Proof and edit your submission accordingly.
Information for poster presenters
The poster space will be 90 x 120 cm (width x height), which corresponds to A0 VERTICAL format (or 16 pages in A4 format). Double-sided adhesive will be available on poster supports and at the registration desk.AA
