The biology of wood: from cell to trees



10–12 July 2018

Granlibakken, Lake Tahoe, CA, USA

Wood biology research has traditionally been approached by discipline-specific 
questions and approaches, but recently the need and power of integrative 
approaches is becoming apparent. This symposium will bring together diverse 
researchers from different aspects of wood biology research including 
anatomists, biochemists, cell biologists, ecologists, geneticist / genomicists, 
and physiologists.



This symposium aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas and foster new 
collaborations across disciplines. We will also challenge speakers to put forth 
their vision for future research, including outstanding questions and 
interdisciplinary approaches by which they could be addressed.



The symposium will take place over three days at the Granlibakken Resort at 
Lake Tahoe in California. The symposium will be organised into sessions by 
research topics, there will be dedicated time for discussions, posters, 
selected poster talks, a conference dinner and a field trip.



Travel grants are available!



Travel grant deadline: Thursday 5 April 2018

Poster abstract deadline: Thursday 3 May 2018
