METABOLIC SIGNALING & DISEASE:
FROM CELL TO ORGANISM
August 11 - 15, 2015
Abstract Deadline: June 14, 2015
Organizers:
Daniel Kelly, Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute at Lake Nona
Mitchell Lazar, University of Pennsylvania
Susanne Mandrup, University of Southern Denmark
We are pleased to announce the second Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Metabolic Signaling & Disease: From Cell to Organism which will begin on Tuesday evening, August 11 and end at noon on Saturday, August 15, 2015.
Metabolic regulation is at the intersection of many scientific fields, ranging from basic biochemistry and molecular biology to physiology, to the study of disease pathogenesis. Currently, a major challenge for these diverse fields is to define commonalities and differences in metabolic pathways and their regulation, and determine the role of these processes for physiology and disease states. This meeting will fill an important gap by bringing together outstanding researchers focused on diverse pathways, cell types, or diseases with a common theme of understanding how metabolism is regulated in physiology and disease states.

The format of the meeting will include eight oral sessions and two poster sessions. Each oral session will include invited speakers and speakers selected from submitted abstracts. For this reason, abstracts from accomplished junior and senior investigators are warmly invited. The abstracts should focus on new and unpublished data. The organizers will select abstracts for oral or poster presentations. We have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend and we have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs. Apply in writing to Demetria Mudar stating need for financial support - preference is given to those submitting abstracts.
We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in August.
