Past program
You are cordially invited to participate in the sixty-third
meeting on Bacteria, Archaea & Phages
which will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting
will begin on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 and will conclude with
lunch on Saturday, August 25.
The specific goal of this meeting is to bring together a group
of scientists studying diverse aspects of prokaryotic and archaeal
biology using the tools of molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry,
and structure analysis. The meeting is intended to provide a
forum for the exchange of ideas and information and to discuss
the latest research findings and technical advances. We encourage
the submission of abstracts covering diverse topics and under-represented
organisms and particularly encourage junior investigators to
present their results at the meeting.
The
format of the meeting will include morning and evening sessions, selected
from the abstracts, principally on unpublished work. In addition, there
will be two poster sessions, held in the afternoons. The organizers will
decide the suitability of each abstract for oral or poster presentation,
but please specify if you prefer a poster.

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be
submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection
of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers
and individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be
posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the
organizers.
We are 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 to partially support graduate students and
postdocs. Apply in writing to stephens@cshl.edu
stating need for financial support - preference is given to those
submitting abstracts.
All
questions pertaining to registration, fees, housing, meals, transportation,
visas, abstract submission or any other matters may be directed to stephens@cshl.edu
We look
forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in August.
Call for nominations for the Nat Sternberg

We anticipate that
this conference will be supported in part by: National Science Foundation, Promega,
Medimmune, Nature Reviews Microbiology
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 stephens@cshl.edu
and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying
who submit abstracts to the meeting.
