We are pleased to announce the Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on Protein Structure Based Drug Design which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center in Suzhou, China. The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Monday September 19, and will conclude after lunch on Friday September 23, 2011.

This conference retains the essence of the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor NY meetings series, a program now in its 76th year. The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session covering the latest findings across many topics in structure-based drug design. Many talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions.

Abstract:
We encourage abstracts to contain new and unpublished materials. The abstracts must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers.

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.

Major Topics:
- Rational drug design
- Structure-based drug design
- Predicting function from sequence
- Docking ligands to proteins
- Molecular dynamics and drug design
- Mechanistic-based drug design
- High throughput screening
- Genomics and drug design
