We are pleased to announce the 2nd CSH Asia Synthetic Biology meeting which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Monday November 26, and will conclude after lunch on Friday November 30, 2012.

This conference is similar in design to the famous Cold Spring Harbor meetings series, a program now in its 77th year. The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session. 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.

Major Topics:
1. Microbial genome engineering
2. Genome engineering of eukaryotic system
3. Designing cellular circuits
4. Metabolic engineering for chemicals, fuels and materials
5. Emerging tools of synthetic biology

Keynote Speakers:
Sven Panke, ETH Zürich SWITZERLAND
Abstract title:Towards a rational in vitro synthetic biology for fine chemical production
Lars Nielsen, The University of Queensland, AUSTRALIA

Abstract title:Genome scale regulatory network modeling

We encourage abstracts to contain new and unpublished materials.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 $200-$500) awards. For more details, please visit http://www.csh-asia.org/stipends.html

We look forward to seeing you at Suzhou in November.
