Detailed
Program
We
are pleased to announce the inaugural Cold
Spring Harbor Asia James Watson Symposium
on Cancer which will be held at the Suzhou
Dushu
Lake
Conference
Center in Suzhou, China.
The Symposium will begin at 7.30pm on the
evening of Tuesday April 6th, and will conclude
after lunch on Sunday, April 11th.
This Symposium is similar in design
to the famous Cold Spring Harbor Symposia series,
now in its 75th year. The James Watson Symposium
will include ten oral sessions and two poster
sessions covering the latest findings across
many topics in cancer research. The majority
of the talks will be given by invited speakers
but some talks will be selected from the openly
submitted abstracts. Social events throughout
the Symposium provide ample opportunity for
informal interactions.

Abstracts should contain only new and
unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract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.
We are eager to have as many young people as
possible attend since they are likely to benefit
most from this meeting. We have applied for
funds from government and industry to partially
support graduate students and postdocs. Apply
in writing to stipends@csh-asia.org stating
need for financial support - preference is given
to those submitting abstracts.
We look forward
to seeing you at Suzhou
in April.
