We are pleased to announce the Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on Cancer and Metabolism which will be held in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Monday September 19, and will conclude after lunch on September 23, 2016.

The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session covering the latest findings across many topics in cancer and metabolism. 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.

Proliferating tumor cells have different metabolic requirements than most normal differentiated cells. Cell proliferation requires nutrient uptake not only for their bioenergetic needs but also to support macromolecule synthesis and redox balance. Metabolic pathways that support the bioenergetic and biosynthetic needs as well as redox balance in cancer cells are being elucidated. Furthermore accumulating evidence suggests that metabolism is actively regulated to support cell growth, and that this regulation is coupled with the signal transduction pathways that control cell growth and proliferation. The meeting will cover the metabolic and signaling pathways that are necessary for cancer.



Major Topics:
1. Organismal Metabolism
2. Metabolic Pathways
3. Signaling
4. Metabolic Stress
5. Cancer Metabolism In Vivo
6. Redox Biology
7. Microenvironment

We encourage abstracts to contain new and unpublished materials.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 $100-$500) awards. For more details, please visit Stipends

We look forward to seeing you at Suzhou in September, 2016.
