The single cell is the building block of all life. It is the basic unit from which complex creatures such as human beings are built. As the foundations of all living things, an understanding of the cell is crucial. Indeed, the study of single cells and the biomolecular reactions that occur within them, as well as inter-cell communication, are critical for the understanding of all living systems. Consequently, the continuing development of new tools and methods to probe the
cell and to observe and explore biomolecular systems within the cell is vital. This challenge will require expertise and collaborations between many scientific disciplines and countries in both academia and industry.

In order to tackle this challenge, an international network has devised a series of workshops concerned with single-cell analysis.
