past program
We are pleased to announce the third Cold Spring Harbor
conference on Blood
Brain Barrier which will begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, December
5 and run through lunch on Saturday, December 8, 2012.
The
purpose of this Cold Spring Harbor meeting is to explore and encourage new
conceptual approaches and to apply novel methods to the neuroprotective
physiologies of BBB structures. Our goal is pair genetic model organism
biological methods with recent insights in vertebrate BBB physiology and
development. We hope to create cross fertilization between fields that
rarely see each other and get people thinking about how model systems can
help parse the regulatory networks necessary for parsimonious BBB function.
The conference is intended to foster cross-disciplinary exchange
of ideas and expertise between developmental and evolutionary
biologists, vascular and BBB physiologists and disease oriented
industry scientists interested in modifying or circumventing
specific pathways of neuroprotection. While a number of speakers have been
invited, please note that the majority of oral presentations
will be drawn from openly submitted abstracts.

Abstracts should contain interesting and exciting 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. We
have applied for funds from government and industry to partially
support graduate students and postdocs. 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 December.
