December 6 - 9, 2017
Abstract Deadline: September 22, 2017
Organizers:
Paola Arlotta, Harvard University
Sergiu Pasca, Stanford University
We are pleased to announce a new Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory winter conference on Development and 3-D Modeling of the Human Brain. The goal of this meeting is to bring together researchers from diverse fields to discuss advances in 3D neural differentiation models (brain organoids and neural spheroids) and their contribution to the understanding of human brain development and pathology.
The meeting will begin on the evening of Wednesday, December 6, 2017, and end after lunch on Saturday December 9. Abstracts should contain new and unpublished material. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers and session chairs.
Topics:
- Human Brain Development and Evolution
- Human Brain Development II
- Brain Models, Development and Disease I
- Brain Models, Development and Disease II
- Brain Models, Development and Disease III

Please bring this notice to the attention of any of your colleagues who may be interested in participating in the meeting.
All abstracts must be submitted by the abstract deadline. Late registrations may be accepted after the abstract deadline if the meeting is not oversubscribed. In the event of over-subscription, every effort will be made to ensure that all groups who wish to participate will be represented. The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs. Please apply in writing via email to Val Pakaluk and state your financial needs; preference will be given to those who submit abstracts.
