Systems Biology: Global Regulation of Gene Expression
February 26 - March 2, 2017
Abstract Deadline: January 6, 2017
Organizers:
Barak Cohen, Washington University, St. Louis
Christina Leslie, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
Bas Van Steensel, Netherlands Cancer Institute
Julia Zeitlinger, Stowers Institute for Medical Research
The twelfth Cold Spring Harbor conference on Systems Biology: Global Regulation of Gene Expression will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and begin at 7:30 pm on Sunday February 26 and run through lunch on Thursday March 2, 2017. The original plan was to hold the meeting in the Dominican Republic, but CSHL and the organizers have made the decision to relocate the meeting back to Cold Spring Harbor because of the growing emergence of Zika throughout much of the Caribbean.
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.

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline.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. The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
This conference is 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 underrepresented in the life sciences. Please apply in writing via email to Maureen Morrow and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those who submit abstracts.
