DESCRIPTION:SPEAKERS\nThe EPFL Latsis Symposium 2026: “Decoding the Cell
 : Modeling\, Predicting\, and Engineering Cellular States” will be held 
 on October 29-30\, 2026\, at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.\n\nThis inter
 national gathering will bring together leading scientists in single-cell a
 nalysis\, computational modeling\, and cellular engineering to explore how
  recent breakthroughs in multi-omics technologies\, predictive algorithms\
 , and synthetic biology are reshaping our understanding of cellular functi
 on.\n\nThrough interdisciplinary talks and discussions\, the symposium wil
 l spotlight advances in single-cell multi-modal data integration\, predict
 ive modeling of cell identity and behavior\, and the engineering of synthe
 tic cell states. By connecting researchers across experimental and computa
 tional domains\, the event aims to establish new conceptual and technologi
 cal frameworks for modeling and controlling cellular systems.\n\nHosted by
  EPFL\, the symposium will foster scientific exchange\, spark new collabor
 ations\, and accelerate progress toward next-generation cell-based therapi
 es\, disease models\, and synthetic biological innovations.\n\nJoin us in 
 Lausanne to connect with the global community shaping the future of cell u
 nderstanding and engineering.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n•    Gray Camp – Researc
