We are pleased to announce the Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on High Throughput Biology which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center in Suzhou, China. The conference will begin at 7:30pm on the evening of Tuesday April 19, and will conclude after lunch on Saturday April 23, 2011.

This conference retains the essence of the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor NY meetings series. It will include eight oral sessions, one poster session and one panel discussion. The purpose of the panel discussion is to facilitate collaborations among academic and non-academic institutions in the area of high throughput biology.

We encourage participants from around the world to apply for this meeting and will select a small number of short presentations to be included in our sessions. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions.

Fellowship:

We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. A certain number of presentations by graduate students and postdocs in this conference will be selected as fellowship (USD $100-$500) awards.
