The 56th Annual Conference of the Canadian Society for Molecular Biosciences (CSMB) on ” Cellular dynamics during development, regeneration and cancer ” will be held June 3-7, 2013 at White Oaks Conference Resort and Spa at Niagara-on-the-Lake.
This meeting is aimed at bringing together experts in experimental model systems and advanced imaging platforms studying dynamics of cell behavior. The highly dynamic nature of cell biological processes makes essential and pervasive contributions to normal development, regeneration and cancer. This meeting will create an opportunity for discussing the technical and intellectual progress in this field and to highlight future challenges.
There will also be CSMB awards lectures and poster sessions with presentations by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Travel awards are available for trainees, and prizes will be given for the best posters. The journal Biochemistry and Cell Biology will publish a special issue devoted to the theme of this conference, featuring review articles and papers submitted by conference participants.
The five star White Oaks Conference Resort and Spa is located on the outskirts of Niagara-on-the Lake just off the Queen Elizabeth Way, about one hour’s drive from Toronto or Buffalo. The resort is completely non-smoking and features a superb fitness/sports club and spa. It is central to Niagara’s best wineries, golf courses, and hiking trails, and is very close to Niagara Falls with all its attractions. Sessions are held in the morning and evening, with afternoons left free to participate in other activities.
THE MEETING WILL CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING THEMES:
- Super resolution imaging
- Cell polarity and cancer
- Cell microenvironment interaction
- Cell polarity and development
- Cytoskeletal dynamics migration and metastasis
- Cell biology of neuronal development
