Abstract

The Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitiative Biology has rarely been devoted to a single organ. One notable exception was the successful Symposium in 1990 on the brain, which marked in part President Bush’s proclamation of the 1990s as the decade of the brain, and also the beginning of the current Cold Spring Harbor initiative in neuroscience. There has been no presidential pronouncement about the heart, and Cold Spring Harbor has not focused research on it, but there have been remarkable developments in molecular understanding of the cardiovascular system over the last decade. It seemed fitting, therefore, that this year’s Symposium should focus on such an important biological topic.
