17th Bay Area Aging Meeting (BAAM)
Bay Area Aging Meetings are sponsored by the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research. The symposia rotate across host institutions, including Gladstone Institutes/UC San Francisco, Stanford University, UC Berkeley and the Buck Institute. Meetings are open to the public.Representative faculty members from each institution, who are experts in the aging field, organize the meetings. These one-day gatherings consist of oral and poster presentations by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from universities and institutes in the Bay Area, who are conducting research on the biology of aging and age-related disease. Meetings often feature a keynote lecture from a faculty member. The meeting format is designed to maximize networking among participants.
The discovery of mutations that cause dramatic lifespan extension has spurred a surge of interest in the basic research on the biology of aging. The value of aging research is further increased by recognition that aging drives the development of a wide spectrum of diseases. The Bay Area is the home to many aging research laboratories recognized for their contributions to the understanding of the biology of aging. In 2009, the idea of the Bay Area Aging Meeting was conceived and received overwhelming support from aging research laboratories across the Bay Area as well as sponsorship from the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research. The first meeting took place at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, California in April 2010. -
16th Annual Gene Therapy Symposium for Heart,Lung, and Blood Diseases
The intent of these annual interdisciplinary scientific symposia is to provide a novel and informal scientific setting for the dissemination and exchange of ideas and research findings by bringing together students, fellows, and junior/senior investigators who do not typically interact at other meetings. The opportunity for investigators in divergent, yet relevant, fields to interact has significantly declined because of the sheer size and objectives of most meetings. Therefore, their goal for these annual fall symposia is to provide the opportunity for interactions that are not possible at larger meetings. They hope to encourage synergy, facilitate new research directions and collaborations, and enhance current approaches to gene transfer/gene therapy for the treatment of human disease. Presentations focus on unpublished works-in-progress, cutting edge technologies, and key thematic issues. Each year a focus topic is selected. -

Gordon Research Conference: Glial Biology
Functional Interactions Among Glia and Neurons (GRS)
Glial Biology GRC meeting will focus on new evidence emerging from genomic and functional studies about the specific roles of different glial cell types in the control of neural circuits and behavior, as well as disease progression and neurodegeneration. The Conference will provide a forward-looking forum where leaders in the field, trainees and scientists with a growing interest in glial biology can interact, share data and receive constructive feedback. Discussions will center on defining the key features of microglia, astrocytes and myelinating cells, as well as diversification within these major classes of glial cells. A major goal will be to explore the mechanisms that enable neuron-glia communication on timescales from milliseconds to months and the consequences of these interactions for nervous system injury and disease. Comparative analysis of glial cells in different species will be highlighted, which are helping to define the molecular underpinnings of conserved neuron-glial interactions.
The program is divided into nine sessions that range from glial control of circuit function to glial involvement in neurodegenerative disease. In conjunction with the affiliated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), trainees will have many opportunities to present their recent results, receive feedback and network with a diverse group of scientists. -
