Cold Spring Harbor Asia (CSHA) is the Asia-Pacific subsidiary of New York based Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). Inaugurated in 2010, CSHA is dedicated to promote international scientific exchange in the Asia-Pacific Rim by offering scientific conferences and advanced training courses with highest quality.
CSHA is pleased to announce the Cold Spring Harbor Asia-Yersinia meeting; i.e. the 11th international symposium on Yersinia, which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center (CSHA’s exclusive venue) in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. The conference is organized by CSHA.
The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Monday June 24, and will conclude after lunch on Friday June 28, 2013.
This meeting is the most important event in the field of Yersinia research. It will cover a wide range of topics including bacteriology, epidemiology, infection & immunity, genomics & evolution, disease surveillance & control, and Omics-driven studies for bacteria.
The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session. Many talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance. As a tradition of CSHL, ample social events throughout the conference will be provided in order to facilitating the cross-pollination of scientific ideas.
Major Topics:
1. Bacteriology of Yersinia
2. Infection and Immunity of Yersinia
3. Genomics and evolution of Yersinia
4. Pathogenesis of yersiniosis
5. Diagnostics for yersiniosis, plague etc.
6. Epidemiological and bacteriological surveillance of Yersinia
7. Control of diseases caused by Yersinia
8. Omics-driven studies of Yersinia

We encourage abstracts to contain new and unpublished materials.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. Status (fellow's talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been 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 $200-$500) awards. For more details, please visit Stipends
We look forward to seeing you at Suzhou in June 2013.
