You are cordially invited to participate in the eleventh biannual international meeting on Yeast Cell Biology which will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting will begin on Wednesday, August 15, and will conclude with lunch on Sunday, August 19, 2007. The format of the meeting will include morning and evening sessions consisting of short talks, limited to approximately 12 minutes, principally on unpublished work. This meeting will cover all aspects of yeast cell biology, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

Cell Cycle Controls
Protein Targeting and Modification
Developmental Choices
Translocation and Secretion
Cytoskeleton & Cell Polarity
Elements of Chromosome Structure & Function
Organelle Structure & Function
Methods in Cell Biology

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline.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 and individual session chairs. Status (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. Apply in writing to meetings@cshl.edu stating need for financial support - preference is given to those submitting abstracts.

We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in August.
