The 5th International Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Meeting of the Epithlial-Mesenchymal Transition Association (TEMTIA) will be held October 10-13， 2011 at Biopolis in Singapore. This meeting is hosted by Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology.

The EMT Conference is the major international forum for researchers studying the process of cell separation and invasion known as epithelial-mesenchymal cell transition or EMT， which takes place in development， wound healing， and in pathologies such as metastasis and fibrosis.

Topics presented at EMT meetings include: a variety of developmental systems and models where EMT takes place， transcriptional and translational regulators of EMT， signal transduction by the several known growth factors that produce EMT， as well as cytoskeletal and extracellular matrix components of the EMT process.

The 1st Cold Spring Harbor Asia Conference on Developmental Control of Sex， Growth and Cellular Fate will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center in Suzhou， China.

The topics for this meeting include
- Sexual dimorphic development
- Germ cell Development
- Stem Cells
- Pattern formation
- Growth control
- Cell migration
- Cell fate determination
- Organ formation

Deadline for abstract submission and early registration is July 22.
Deadline for normal registration is September 13.
