Requests for CURE Epilepsy-Sponsored Research Seminars – Applications Due July 30, 2021
Bring innovative epilepsy researchers and cutting-edge science to your institution this fall by hosting a CURE Epilepsy Frontiers in Research Seminar! The purpose of these seminars is to expose researchers, clinicians, and students to exciting epilepsy research and provide opportunities for young investigators to interact with leaders in the field.
The CURE Epilepsy Frontiers in Research Seminar series is generously supported by the Nussenbaum-Vogelstein Family.
Xlerat-ing IDeAs Conference: Experiences from the Southeast on June 23-24, 2021
The XLerat-ing IDeAs Conference: Experiences from the Southeast will provide important insights on applying for small business grants through the NIH, National Science Foundation (NSF), and other governmental agencies. This virtual conference is intended to help inform and inspire those who are interested in or plan to submit for an upcoming small business innovation research/small business technology transfer (SBIR/STTR) solicitation.
Workshop: From Brain to Bedside: Translation of Next-Generation Circuit Therapies on June 29-30, 2021
The Translation of Next-Generation Circuit Therapies Workshop will focus on the use of innovative and novel tools, which includes optogenetics, chemogenetics, and gene editing, as well as cutting-edge approaches to neuromodulation. Sessions will discuss existing approaches to circuit manipulation, advances in gene therapy approaches, and how they may inform future CNS circuit therapies.
Registration for this virtual workshop is free and now open.
