The first time I went to the United States was in 1953 ... to the Cold Spring Harbor symposium where Jim Watson described in detail his model of double helix. All these symposia were extremely important. I think Cold Spring Harbor was one of the birthplaces of molecular biology.--Francois Jacob
Every summer, leading figures in biology from around the world converge on Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York for its annual symposium. Since 1933, major discoveries--such as the structure of DNA, the genetic code, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and RNA interference (RNAi)--have been presented and debated at the symposium, which each year focuses on a different and timely area of biological research.
The speakers at the symposium are handpicked luminaries and rising stars in the field, who also publish detailed discussions of the work they present in the annual Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology volume. The electronic versions of these articles are published continually, ahead of the print issue, in the online version of Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology. This also features video interviews with the participants and a historic 70-Year Archive that includes digitized versions of all earlier volumes, together with historical background and photographs of the participants in action.
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology online is thus an essential resource for modern biologists, providing information about both cutting-edge advances in the life sciences and the history of molecular and cellular biology.
