UC San Diego's Center for Circadian Biology will host its 14th Annual Circadian Biology Symposium to be held at the Sanford Consortium - Roth Auditorium, UC San Diego.

 

We have invited a select, stellar group of chronobiologists from around the country and beyond, and a few local colleagues, to speak at this symposium. Each year, the symposium attracts leaders in the field, with active participation from our 58 PIs within the CCB. We welcome and encourage registrants from your research personnel, other institutions, and industry.

 

Registration is open!
