Program:
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is organizing a new meeting on Telomeres & Telomerase, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Thursday, March 25, 1999 and run through lunch on Sunday, March 28. The specific goals of this conference are to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various molecular, cellular and genetic aspects of telomeres and telomerase biology. This meeting is intended to provide a format for the exchange of ideas and information, to discuss the latest research findings and technical advances, and to facilitate interaction amongst groups working on telomeres and telomerase in diverse systems. Topics include:
Telomere chromatin and silencing
Telomere length regulation
Telomerase structure and function
Telomeres & recombination in mitosis & meiosis
Telomeres & telomerase in the cell cycle, cell proliferation & cancer
Telomeres & telomerase in cell senescence
Registration :
Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers in consultation with the chairs of the individual sessions. We hope that you or a member of your laboratory will be able to participate in a most interesting and stimulating meeting. We are especially eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied for funds from government and industry that may allow us to support graduate students and postdocs. Requests for funding must be received in writing prior to the abstract deadline. Abstracts must be submitted by the abstract deadline. Please note that we will only process registration and/or abstract submission upon payment of the required deposit.
We encourage you to register online.
