past program

You are cordially invited to participate in the nineteenth annual meeting on Mouse Molecular Genetics, which will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting will begin with dinner and the first session on the evening of Wednesday, August 30 and will conclude with lunch on Sunday, September 3. The specific goal of this conference is to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various molecular and genetic aspects of mammalian development. This meeting is intended to provide a format for the exchange of ideas and information, to discuss the latest research findings and technical advances towards the study of mammalian development and disease.

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline.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 meetings@cshl.edu stating need for financial support - preference is given to those submitting abstracts.

We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in August/September.

This conference is supported in part by funds provided by:
National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institute of Neurological Diseases & Stroke
