We are pleased to announce the seventh Cold Spring Harbor winter biotechnology conference on Systems Biology: Global Regulation of Gene Expression, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, March 23 and run through lunch on Saturday, March 27, 2010. The conference is intended to foster cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and expertise between experimentalists and computational biologists interested in the organization and control of complex transcription networks in eukaryotes. While a number of speakers have been invited, please note that the majority of oral presentations will be drawn from openly submitted abstracts.

Steven Henikoff, Fred Hutchnison Cancer Research Center
Kevin Struhl, Harvard Medical School

Topics:
Transcriptional Regulatory Networks I & II
Cis-Regulatory Logic
Chromatin and Epigenetics
Post-transcriptional regulation
Regulation
Variation and Evolution
Emerging Technologies

We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in March.

We anticipate that this conference will be supported in part by funds provided by the National Institutes of Health

We have funds to provide partial scholarships for individuals who are US citizens/permanent residents from minority groups under-represented in the life sciences. Please provide justification in writing to meetings@cshl.edu and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying who submit abstracts to the meeting.
