The specific goal for this meeting is to foster fruitful and creative dialogs between experimental cell biologists and mathematical - computational modelers with common interests in the regulation of cell physiology. Emphasis will be placed on areas of greatest current interest and importance, such cell signaling, motility, cell proliferation and death, calcium dynamics, microbial physiology, and development. Sessions will also be devoted to new experimental technologies and software developments.

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline.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 some funds 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.
