UCSF at SfN 2019

SfN Banner

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) annual meeting in Chicago, IL starts in just a few days. Below is a list of UCSF symposiums that will be presented there. Click on the title of each talk to get to the abstract along with the time and location of the presentation. This is intended to provide a snapshot of the neuroscience research being done at UCSF and help you find faculty with expertise in your areas of interest. We invite you to meet with our faculty during SfN and if you need any assistance, please contact Cammie Edwards, UCSF Strategic Alliances at [email protected].
