Organized by: *Martin Caffrey,* Trinity College Dublin, Ireland *Nancy Carrasco,* Yale University, USA *Tian-Le Xu,* Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China *Ming Zhou,* Baylor College of Medicine, USA We are pleased to announce the *Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on* *Membrane Proteins: Structure & Function* which will be held in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. The conference will begin at *7:00 pm on the evening of Monday May 15, and will conclude after lunch on May 19, 2017.* The conference will include up to eight oral sessions and four poster sessions covering the latest findings across a range membrane protein related topics. Many talks will be selected from submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions. *Major Topics* *1. Channels* *2. Cryo-EM 3. Dynamics* *4. Emerging techniques* *5. Enzymes* *6. Functional characterization* * 7. Transmembrane signalling* *8.
