The Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitative Biology is a premier annual international scientific meeting during which researchers gather for in-depth discussions of carefully selected topics of current interest. The Symposium has been held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory every year since 1933 (save 1943-1945). The first public description of the structure of DNA was given at the 1951 Cold Spring Harbor Symposium, and over the years, many other ground-breaking discoveries have similarly been announced at the Symposium.
The 67th Symposium on Quantitative Biology (May 29 – June 3, 2002) will focus on The Cardiovascular System. Topics to be explored include:
- Angiogenesis/Anti-angiogenesis
- Arrythmogenesis/Channels
- Atherosclerosis
- Excitation and Contraction
- Heart and Vascular Development
- Hypertension
- Hypertrophy/Heart Failure
- Myocyte Biology
