84th Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Symposium on Quantitative Biology
RNA Control & Regulation
May 29 - June 3, 2019
Poster Abstract Deadline: March 8, 2019
Organizers:

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
We are pleased to host the 84th Cold Spring Harbor Symposium which will focus on RNA Control & Regulation. Previous Cold Spring Harbor Symposia have addressed many different aspects of RNA biology, most recently the Symposia on Mechanisms of Transcription (1998), The Ribosome (2001), Epigenetics (2004) and Regulatory RNAs (2006).
The Symposium will begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday May 29th, and end on Sunday evening, with normal departures on Monday June 3rd. The Symposium will include nine oral sessions (invited speakers only) and two poster sessions providing a current synthesis of the enormous progress in our understanding of the way RNA controls and regulates processes in the cell and organism, and how these mechanisms when aberrant may contribute to the progression of disease. The annual Dorcas Cummings lecture will take place on Saturday, June 1st. Social events throughout the Symposium provide ample opportunity for informal interactions and will include a wine-and-cheese party, a beach picnic, cocktails and banquet, and departure brunch on Monday June 3rd.
