The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cell state change during which cells transition from stationary to migratory behavior. This transition happens in various contexts, including normal and disease states. Additionally, EMT involves numerous changes across multiple cell characteristics, adding to the complexity of defining this process consistently and universally.   

TEMTIA 11 will embrace this challenge drawing strength from the diversity of the field, bringing together experts across contexts, perspectives, and scales of study and organizing them across (rather than within) sessions with common themes. These will include topics such as data integration, microscopy in EMT, modeling of state changes, and more. Additionally, breakout discussion groups and poster sessions will foster productive communication and collaboration.
