May 31 - June 5, 2017
Poster Abstract Deadline: April 10, 2017

Organizers:

Terri Grodzicker, David Stewart, Bruce Stillman
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory


We are pleased to host the 82nd Cold Spring Harbor Symposium which will focus on Chromosome Segregation & Structure and will address the enormous progress in our understanding of chromosome segregation, dynamics and stability, a topic not addressed at a CSHL Symposium for many years.

The Symposium will begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday May 31st, and end on Sunday evening, with normal departures on Monday June 5th. The Symposium will include nine oral sessions (invited speakers only) and two poster sessions covering the latest research in diverse areas of Chromosome Segregation & Structure. The annual Dorcas Cummings lecture will take place on Saturday, June 3rd. Social events throughout the Symposium provide ample opportunity for informal interactions and will include a wine-and-cheese party, a beach picnic, cocktails and banquet, and departure brunch on Monday June 5th.
 

Topics:

• Meiosis
• Mitosis
• Chromosome Segregation
• Centrosomes and Centrioles
• Ploidy, Chromosome Segregation Errors & Disease
