The 22nd International Conference on the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas

The International Conference on the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas is held every two years. Since its inception in 1983 this conference has brought together investigators from widely different disciplines (cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics, plant physiology, and genomics) and geographical locations to discuss new approaches to major scientific problems. Chlamydomonas has been a favored organism for studying such differing topics as the eukaryotic flagellum and basal bodies, and photosynthesis and nuclear/chloroplast genetic interactions. Continued high attendance at all sessions reflects the desire for interdisciplinary interactions among participants.
