title: The 6th International Conference on Analysis of Microbial Cells at the Single Cell Level, Retz, Austria, 19-22 July 2015.
abstract: The 6th International Conference on Analysis of Microbial Cells at the Single Cell Level, held in Retz, Austria from 19 to 22 July 2015, brought together experts from different areas working with bacterial, yeast and mammalian cell systems. The conference highlighted the importance of dissecting cell behaviour down to the single cell level, as analysis of mixed populations can obscure crucial cell-to-cell variations. The sessions covered advances in the fields of image analysis and microscopy, flow cytometry and cell sorting as well as bioinformatics, including recent developments and new applications of existing tools. In addition, a high speed poster slam session contributed to the lively discussions and exchange of expertise among academic and industrial researchers.
