past program

You are cordially invited to participate in the eighth biennial meeting on The Cell Cycle which will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting will begin on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, and will conclude with lunch on Sunday, May 21. The specific goal for this meeting is to create a forum in which diverse areas of cell cycle regulation in a broad spectrum of experimental organisms can be openly and critically discussed. Emphasis will be placed both upon areas of traditional interest to the cell cycle field, such as control of DNA replication and mitosis, and on areas of emerging interest and importance, such as the links between cell cycle regulation and development.

Keynote Speaker: Marc Kirschner, Harvard University

Topics & Confirmed Session Chairs:

• Cell Cycle Control Mechanisms
James Ferrell

• G1 Control I
Sander van den Heuvel, J. Wade Harper

• G1 Control II
Bruce Edgar, Mike Tyers

• S Phase
Steve Bell, Johannes Walter

• M Phase I
Doug Koshland, Claire Walczak

• M Phase II
Frank Uhlmann, Michael Glotzer

• Checkpoints I
Karlene Cimprich, Steve Elledge

• Checkpoints II
Sue Biggins, Andrea Musacchio

The format of the meeting will include morning and evening sessions consisting of eight or nine 15-minute talks per session, entirely selected from the abstracts, principally on unpublished work.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.

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 meetings@cshl.edu stating need for financial support - preference is given to those submitting abstracts.

Status of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the Organizers. Please bring this notice to the attention of any of your colleagues who may be interested. We hope to see you at Cold Spring Harbor in May.

This conference is supported in part by funds provided by:
National Cancer Institute
