Founded in 2002, the Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) is an annual international meeting for in-depth discussions of all aspects of brain connectivity research. The 17th edition of this workshop, taking place at Stanford University (June 25-27, 2018), begins with an educational day followed by two days devoted to presentations and discussions in four domains: anatomy, physiology and neuroimaging, computational models of brain connectivity, and clinical problems in relation to connectivity in both psychiatry and neurology.

Stanford bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar

DAVID TIRRELL, CALTECH

Through the efforts of Dr. Tirrell's laboratory and others, the code has been "reinterpreted" in various ways to enable the participation of an expanded set of amino acids in cellular protein synthesis.  These developments have provided a basis for powerful new approaches to protein design and to spatially and temporally resolved analysis of cellular processes.

Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar

JENNIFER ZALLEN, MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER

The Zallen lab is using molecular, genetic, and cell biological approaches to understand the machinery that directs morphogenetic events. An understanding of the cell rearrangements that occur during normal embryonic development will uncover general principles that build tissues and organs and can provide insight into how deranged versions of these processes contribute to human disease.
