CCB Symposium: From Cells to Clinic
February 25-27, 2015
UCSD's Center for Circadian Biology (CCB) will host its 6th annual Circadian Biology Symposium to be held at the Sanford Consortium Auditorium, February 25-27, 2015. The theme for the symposium is "From Cells to Clinic."
We are inviting a select, stellar group of chronobiologists from around the country and beyond, and a few local colleagues, to speak at this symposium. We expect strong participation from our 34 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 circadian biology.
- Exchange a broad spectrum of ideas and techniques in circadian biology.
- Promote interactions among the faculty and lab personnel of the UCSD, Circadian Biology Center, the invited speakers, and other participants.
- Further acquaint the speakers, their groups, and other registrants with the depth and breadth of circadian biology research conducted at UCSD.
