Blood Brain Barrier Course by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSH)

Blood Brain Barrier Course is organized by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSH) and will be held from Apr 03 - 06, 2019 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York, United States of America.

Conference Description:
The conference is intended to foster cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and expertise between developmental and evolutionary biologists, vascular and BBB physiologists and disease oriented industry scientists interested in modifying or circumventing specific pathways of neuroprotection.

The purpose of this Cold Spring Harbor meeting is to explore and encourage new conceptual approaches and to apply novel methods to the neuroprotective physiologies of BBB structures. Our goal is pair genetic model organism biological methods with recent insights in vertebrate BBB physiology and development. We hope to create cross fertilization between fields that rarely see each other and get people thinking about how model systems can help parse the regulatory networks necessary for parsimonious BBB function.

Conference Topics:
• Development and Maturation of CNS Barriers
• Imaging and Function of the BBB/BRB in Health and Disease
• Model Systems to Study CNS Barriers
• Cell Biology of the BBB/BRB
• Gene Therapy and Biotherapeutic Transport Across the BBB/BRB
• Brain Axis and Neuroimmune Mechanisms

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
