Genome Engineering: The CRISPR-Cas Revolution
August 17 – 20, 2016
Abstract Deadline: May 27, 2016
Organizers:
Jennifer Doudna, University of California, Berkeley/HHMI
Maria Jasin, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, NY

You are cordially invited to participate in the second meeting on Genome Engineering: The CRISPR-Cas Revolution at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting will begin with dinner and the first session on the evening of Wednesday, August 17, 2016, and will conclude with lunch on Saturday, August 20.
The specific goal for this meeting is to foster fruitful and creative interactions between researchers interested in applying these systems to genome engineering and related advances in a wide variety of organisms, together with scientists studying the basic biology of CRISPR-Cas and related bacterial defense systems.
This meeting will consist of six oral sessions plus one poster session; speakers will be invited as well as selected from submitted abstracts.
Topics:
• CRISPR Biology
• Genome Editing
• Gene Drives
• DNA Repair
• Model and Industrial Organisms
• Technology Development
• Stem Cells/Cancer
• Genome-Wide Screens

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 Val Pakaluk stating need for financial support – preference is given to those submitting abstracts.
Partial support provided by Advanced Analytical and Editas Medicine.
We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in August 2016.
