STEM CELL BIOLOGY
SEPTEMBER 22 - 26, 2009
Abstract Deadline: July 3,2009
Organizers:

Medical Center
Allan Spradling, HHMI/Carnegie Institution
We are pleased to host a special meeting on Stem Cell Biology, which will
begin with 7.30 pm on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 and run through
lunch on Saturday, September 26.
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:
Stem cell-niche interactions
Imaging stem cell behavior
Asymmetric cell division
Epithelial, neural and
hematopoietic stem cells
Tissue regeneration and repair
Lineage determination
Pluripotency and epigenetics
Reprogramming and plasticity

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished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
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 September.
