Hosted by UC San Diego's Center for Circadian Biology

Registration is free

The Symposium will feature three half-day morning sessions from 8am to 11:45am (Pacific Standard Time).

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
