冷泉港亞洲(CSH Asia)：健康與疾病中的蛋白質穩態會議

Protein Homeostasis in Health & Disease
Suzhou, China
September 26 - 30, 2011

Arranged by:
Richard Morimoto, Northwestern University, USA
Kazuhiro Nagata, Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan
Chih-chen Wang, Institute of Biophysics, CAS, China

We are pleased to announce the 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 7:00pm on the evening of Monday September 26, and will conclude after lunch on Friday September 30, 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 protein homeostasis. 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.

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We encourage abstracts to contain new and unpublished materials.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. For more details, please visit http://www.csh-asia.org/stipends.html.

Major 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
