We are accepting abstracts for consideration as poster presentations. Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Status of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.

Some special funds are available to help junior scientists wishing to actively present their work at the Symposium (US minorities are particularly encouraged to apply).

We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in June.

The Symposium is supported in part by funds provided by CSHL's
Corporate Sponsor Program and the National Science Foundation.

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.
