We are pleased to announce the inaugural Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases 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 October 18, and will conclude after lunch on Friday October 22, 2010.

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 two poster sessions covering the latest findings in infectious disease research.

Abstract submission:

The majority of the talks will be given by invited speakers but some talks will be chosen from openly submitted abstracts. Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline.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.

Stipends:

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. For more details, please visit http://www.csh-asia.org/stipends.html.

Topics:

-Biology of emerging and re-emerging pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasites)
-Microbial pathogenesis
-Change in microbial ecology (impact of intervention and alternations in host human interaction)
-Vaccines and novel therapeutics
-Impact of climate change
