Major Topics:
• Regulatory pathways (metabolic pathways, microRNAs, etc.) in the tumor microenvironment
• Metastasis & the metastatic microenvironment
• Protective immunity & inflammation in the tumor microenvironment
• Imaging of the tumor microenvironment
• Pre-metastatic niches and stem cells

The abstract submission process is tied to the registration process. Therefore, please register for the “CSH Asia / ICMS Joint Conference on Tumor Microenvironment” first. You will then be sent a web link for abstract submission.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
NO PAYMENT is due until after the presenting author receives an email (around the third week of August 2012) stating that the abstract has been accepted.
Only abstracts of registered participants who paid the registration fees will be included in the abstract book.

Abstracts should contain new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically not later than the submission deadline. Presenting authors may submit abstracts for consideration as talks and/or posters. Selection of abstracts for oral or poster presentation will be made by the Program Committee. Abstracts will be selected on the basis of relevance to the conference topic and on scientific merit.

Abstracts are the responsibility of the author(s) and publication of an abstract does not imply endorsement by Cold Spring Harbor Asia or by the International Cancer Microenvironment Society of the studies reported in the abstract.

Conference abstracts should not be cited in bibliographies. Material therein should be
treated as personal communications and should be cited as such only with the express consent of the author(s).

Fellowship:
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. A certain number of presentations by graduate students and postdocs in this conference will be selected as fellowship (USD $200-$500) awards. For more details, please visit http://www.csh-asia.org/stipends.html

We look forward to seeing you at Suzhou in November.
