Conference

The conference "Frontiers in Life Sciences and Biotechnology" will be held at Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, CA, December 27-29, 2009. Keynote speakers include Dr. Roger Tsien, the 2008 Nobel Laureate, Dr. Yigong Shi, Tsinghua University, and Dr. Yan Shen, National Science Foundation of China (NSFC).

Scientific Sessions
In addition to keynote and society lecturers, this year’s meeting will have a total of 10 concurrent sessions covering a broad spectrum of biological sciences and technologies. Each session will be organized by two co-chairs, who will be responsible to select and determine the theme of the session. We encourage co-chairs of each session to be inclusive to have broader coverage, therefore enhancing interactions between different fields and collaborations among us. If you are interested in giving a talk, please contact the co-chairs of relevant topics to discuss feasibility.

Panel Discussion
The program also include special panel discussions on funding opportunities and research development in China
