We are
pleased to announce the sixth Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Gene Expression & Signaling
in the Immune System, which will begin on Tuesday evening, April
24 and end at noon on Saturday, April 28, 2012. We are looking forward to a
broad-based meeting, and abstracts are welcomed on all scientific topics
related to immune system gene expression and signaling. In addition to a
strong focus on lymphocyte development and adaptive immunity, this year's
meeting will also emphasize the molecular regulation of innate immune
responses.
Topics:
*Stem cells and cell
fate decisions
*Regulation of immune cell development
*Chromatin structure and epigenetic regulation
*Antigen receptor gene assembly and modification
*Signal transduction in immune cells
*Regulation of lymphocyte function
*Innate immunity

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 The abstracts should focus on new and unpublished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.
We
hope to see you at Cold Spring Harbor in April.
This conference
is supported in part by funds provided by:
National
Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases, part of the National
Institutes of Health and Research & Diagnostic Systems, Inc.
We have funds to
provide partial scholarships for individuals who are US citizens/permanent
residents from minority
groups under-represented in the life sciences. Please
provide justification in writing to meetings@cshl.edu
and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying
who submit abstracts to the meeting.
