CCB Symposium: From Cells to Clinic
February 13-15, 2019
UC San Diego's Center for Circadian Biology (CCB) will host its 9th Annual Circadian Biology Symposium to be held at the Sanford Consortium Auditorium.
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. We expect strong participation from our 52 CCB PI's and their research personnel, and welcome 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 UC San Diego, 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 UC San Diego.

From the NORTH:
- Take I-5 south
- Exit at Genesee Avenue and turn right (heading west)
- Turn left onto North Torrey Pines Road (near the top of the hill)
- Drive 1/8 mile, turn right onto Torrey Pines Scenic Drive
- The Sanford Consortium is the first driveway on your right
- West parking lot is on the left
From the SOUTH:
- Take I-5 north
- Exit at Genesee Avenue and turn left(heading west)
- Turn left onto North Torrey Pines Road (near the top of the hill)

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 base of the outdoor stairway. The machine accepts Visa, MC, Amex, and cash ($1 or $5 but will not give change). Important note to UCSD permit holders: If you plan to use this pay lot, remove your UCSD parking permit from view or you will receive a parking citation. DO NOT park in the west lot, although it appears that UCSD permits are allowed, they are not. Employees of Sanford have an additional sticker; without it you will receive a citation.
Free street parking on Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, but space is limited and fills up quickly.
UCSD Parking Permit Holders: Parking lot P386 is an overflow gravel lot only for UCSD permit holders. Due to gravel, there are no lane markings, but red (faculty), green (staff), and yellow (student) permit holders are permitted. The lot entrance is on Torrey Pines Scenic Drive (on right), one driveway past the Sanford main entrance.
Warning - due to gravel, traction may be difficult, and low-profile vehicles may scrape.
Pangea parking structure (P435) - The structure has both visitor pay spaces, and UCSD permit spaces (red faculty, green staff, & yellow student). Visitors may purchase parking for $2 per hour.
