STEM CELL BIOLOGY
September 24 - 28, 2013
Abstract Deadline: July 12, 2013
Organizers:

We are pleased to host the third meeting on Stem Cell Biology, which will
begin with 7.30 pm on Tuesday, September 24, 2013 and run through
lunch on Saturday, September 28.
The meeting will focus on the basic biology of stem cells and
the dynamic interactions between stem cells and their microenvironment
or niche. Topics will include the mechanisms controlling stem
cell proliferation, differentiation, pluripotency and reprogramming.
Emerging concepts about the regulation of multipotent cells
during early embryo development, tissue regeneration and tumor
progression will be emphasized.
Tentative
Topics:
Somatic stem cells and tissue regeneration
Pluripotent stem cells and epigenetic gene regulation
Cellular reprogramming and transdifferentiation
Stem cells in disease modeling and therapy
Lineage determination
Stem cells in model organisms
Stem cell niches/asymmetric stem cell division
Cancer and stem cells

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished
material and are welcome for consideration as poster presentations
(a small number may be selected as talks) and must be submitted electronically
by the abstract deadline. Selection
of material for poster and oral presentation will be made
by the organizers. 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
Kate Bradley (kbradley@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 September.
