We are pleased to announce the 2nd Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on High Throughput Biology: Genomics & Epigenomics which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Monday October 15, and will conclude after lunch on Friday October 19, 2012.

The conference “High Throughput Biology - Genomics and Epigenomics” aims to capture the rapid developments in recent years in DNA sequencing technologies and imaging techniques that are accelerating the pace of biological discoveries, in particular in the area of genomcis and epigenomics. This year’s conference, the 2nd in its series, will feature the keynote speaker Lucy Shapiro, a renowned molecular biologist and systems biologist, from Stanford University, and 24 other invited speakers from seven countries working on a diverse set of subjects, including, regulatory genomics, single cell genomics, chromatin architecture, high throughput functional genomics, and systems biology. A large number of oral presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts.

New Highlight- A Newly Added Session and Speakers 

Harnessing High Throughput Technologies to Tackle Neglected Parasitic Diseases of Major Socioeconomic Importance

Robin Gasser, Xingquan Zhu, Christian Barth, Stephen C. Barker, Renfu Shao, Aaron R. Jex, Neil D. Young

Compounded by a massive global food shortage, many infectious diseases have a devastating, long-term impact on animal and human health and welfare worldwide. Billions of animals and humans are affected by a broad range of destructive parasites worldwide. Unlocking the molecular biology of these neglected pathogens and key model organisms, employing a raft of high throughput -omic and computer technologies, will lead to entirely new ways of controlling them and will have substantial outcomes through the development of new drugs, vaccines and/or diagnostic tests. This session profile some recent advances and breakthroughs made in this exciting field and will discuss the biological and biotechnological prospects that lie ahead.

We encourage abstracts to contain new and unpublished materials.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 October.
