Parking Information:

Sanford Consortium's East parking lot costs $1 per hour or $8 for all day. Instructions: take note of the number on your parking space and find the pay station near the bottom of the outdoor stairway near the Sanford building entrance. The machine accepts Visa, MC, Amex, and cash ($1 or $5 but will not give change). Important note to UCSD permit holders: If you have a UCSD permit and park in this lot, remove your UCSD parking permit from view or you will receive a parking citation. Also DO NOT park in the west lot. Although it appears that UCSD permits are allowed, they are not. The employees of Sanford have an additional sticker; without it you will receive a parking citation.

Free street parking on Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, but space is limited and fills up quickly.

UCSD Parking Permit Holders: There is a new UCSD parking lot (P386) located on Torrey Pines Scenic Drive just west of the Sanford parking lots. Head west on Torrey Pines Scenic Drive toward the Gliderport. The entrance to this gravel parking lot is on the right. The lot has red faculty spaces, green staff spaces, and yellow student spaces.

Pangea parking structure P435 - The structure has red faculty spaces, green staff spaces, and spaces for visitors to purchase parking for $2 per hour.

We will have a poster session on Thursday afternoon during our symposium. There will be 4 prizes, valued at $75 each, awarded to 1 outstanding poster and 3 best posters. To participate you will need to sign up through our registration website.  Click here for guidelines for your poster abstract submission - All poster abstracts should be submitted as .doc or .pdf files, and sent electronically to ccb.symposium@gmail.com.

Sponsorship Information - An exciting event and opportunity

The 8th Annual "From Cells to Clinic" Symposium, hosted by the Center for Circadian Biology (CCB) formerly known as Center for Chronobiology, at University of California, San Diego. It will bring together 150 of the world’s leading researchers in the field of biological timing to San Diego and the UCSD campus for a 3-day symposium in February, 2017.

The mission of the Center for Circadian Biology is to advance leading-edge research in circadian biology that will have dramatic and lasting impacts on improving human health, the environment and the economy. Our aim is to establish UC San Diego and Torrey Pines Mesa as the premier international center of academic excellence in circadian research.

The 2017 “From Cells to Clinic” Symposium provides an unparalleled breadth and depth of leading-edge research and groundbreaking biological timing discoveries in plants, animals and humans, and spans molecular biology to clinical applications. By sponsoring the Annual “From Cells to Clinic” Symposium, you will join the Who’s Who in circadian research in this exciting venture and help us invent the future.
