Chen Institute at Caltech and Cedars-Sinai Joint Neuroscience Symposium
The Chen Institute for Neuroscience at Caltech and Cedars-Sinai are pleased to present a joint symposium on Computational and Experimental Neuroscience.
The program will feature talks from both Caltech and Cedars-Sinai scientists as well as ample time for attendees to interact. The talks will focus on computational and experimental neuroscience. We hope that this joint event will foster new interactions between members of both communities and maximize the potential for collaborations.
The symposium is comprised of two days at two locations, see details below.
