The Hope Center solicits abstract submissions from graduate students, post docs, and junior faculty who are interested in presenting their work at the retreat as a short talk or a poster. Work from all levels, basic science to clinically translated work, is appropriate for submission. We seek to highlight work from each of the eight Research Interest Groups.
Abstracts should reflect work that is consistent with the Hope Center mission: “To improve the lives of people living with neurological disorders, through collaborative research that aims to discover fundamental mechanisms of neurodegeneration and repair and translate that new understanding into cures and treatments.”
About
The Hope Center Annual Retreat provides an opportunity to go off-site for a day, focus on Hope Center research, and learn more about transnational Neuroscience outside Washington University. Hope Center faculty and members of their laboratories learn about the latest findings and future directions of member labs in the context of short talks and a poster session. Keynote lectures feature invited speakers who lead their fields with a research/clinical program aligned with the Hope Center mission.
Stay tuned for details below and also on the Office of Neuroscience Research (ONR) Calendar.
