Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY
April 17 - 21, 2012
We are pleased to announce the second Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Molecular Pathways in Organ Development & Disease, which will begin on Tuesday evening, April 17 and end at noon on Saturday, April 21, 2012. The specific goals of this conference are to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various molecular, cellular and genetic aspects of organogenesis in vertebrate systems. 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 the intellectual unification of research on vertebrate organogenesis and related disease states in diverse systems. The Cold Spring Harbor meeting will promote interactions and discussions between leading scientists and physician-scientists working on different vertebrate model systems, different organs, and different pathological conditions The format of the meeting will include eight oral sessions and two poster sessions. Each oral session will include invited speakers and speakers selected from submitted abstracts. For this reason, abstracts from accomplished junior and senior investigators are warmly invited. The abstracts should focus on new and unpublished data. The organizers will select abstracts for oral or poster presentations. The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site (below) as soon as decisions have been made. We have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs.
