We are pleased to announce the inaugural Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on Protein Homeostasis in Health & Disease 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 Monday September 26, and will conclude after lunch on Friday September 30, 2011.
This conference is similar in design to the famous Cold Spring Harbor meetings series, a program now in its 75th year. The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session covering the latest findings across many topics in protein homeostasis in health & disease research. 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.
Topics:
-The Protein Folding Problem
-Protein Biogenesis and Sensing Proteotoxic Stress
-Protein Misfolding in Aging and Disease
-Proteostasis and Stress Responses
-Organellar Protein Homeostasis
-Clearance Mechanisms
-Therapeutic Strategies for Conformational Diseases

We encourage abstracts to contain new and unpublished materials.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 September 2011.
