We are pleased to announce the Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on Developmental Control of Sex, Growth and Cellular Fate 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 October 11, and will conclude after lunch on Saturday October 15, 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 developmental biology research. Many talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance.

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We encourage abstracts to contain new and unpublished materials.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.
