NeuroDevNet 2012 Brain Development Conference Posted By: David Kennedy - Jul 16, 2012Tool/Resource: NITRC Community Toronto, Ontario | September 21-23, 2012 NeuroDevNet’s Third Annual Brain Development Conference will focus on basic science – exploring the excitement and potential at the cellular level in neurodevelopmental disorders. Join us in Toronto Sept. 21-23, for special symposia, including “Building the Brain,” a journey from genes that define brain cells and structures to the ways they assemble and interconnect in the developing brain as presented by a stellar group of top researchers from Canada and the US: Dan Goldowitz, Scientific Director of NeuroDevNet - “The cells and molecules that make a brain” Arnold Kriegstein of The Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCSF – “Neurogenesis and Migration” Jeff Macklis from Harvard University’s Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology – “Specifying and connecting neuronal structures for function” Shernaz Bamji, of UBC’s Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences – “Cadherins and catenins in synapse Derek van der Kooy, of University of Toronto’s Neurobiology Research Group – “Keeping Neurons Coming” “Understanding cells and molecules is not only the bedrock of brain development,” says NeuroDevNet’s Scientific Director, Dr. Dan Goldowitz, “it also provides meaningful insights into atypical development that are key to any kind of intervention that may be offered or developed.” Register today (http://www.neurodevnet.ca/sites/all/modu...)for the Third Annual Brain Development Conference, and embark on the journey at the early bird rate..
