CCB Symposium: From Cells to Clinic
UCSD's Center for Chronobiology (CCB) will host its 4th annual chronobiology symposium to be held at the Sanford Consortium, February 13-15, 2013. The theme for the symposium is "From Cells to Clinic."
We have invited a select, stellar group of chronobiologists from around the country and beyond, and a few local colleagues, to speak at this 4th annual UCSD Chronobiology Symposium. We expect strong participation from our 32 PIs here in the CCB and their research personnel, and plan to accommodate a limited number of registrants from other institutions as well.
The aims of the conference are to:
- Provide participants with a comprehensive view of modern Chronobiology.
- Exchange a broad spectrum of ideas and techniques in Chronobiology.
- Promote interactions among the faculty and lab personnel of the UCSD Chronobiology Center, the invited speakers, and other participants.
- Further acquaint the speakers, their groups, and other registrants with the depth and breadth of Chronobiology research conducted at UCSD.
