The 7th annual Ontario Cell Biology Symposium – being held in August 2025 – brings together researchers from around the province with the aim of creating new research opportunities and fostering new collaborations.This Symposium aims to provide a forum for students and postdoctoral fellows to present their research. This meeting will cover important topics in cell biology, including signal transduction, metabolism, organelles, cellular architecture, cellular trafficking and advanced microscopy, with a portion of the meeting dedicated to translational studies and emerging methodologies. We aim to create an inclusive environment for this meeting, and one that will feature diverse participants.
We hope to see you at OCBS 2025 at Brock University.
