The fields of sleep/circadian biology and AD are turning in a new direction, using strategies that include genetic and biomarker studies in humans and model organisms such as the mouse. Research is converging on recent advances in genomic technologies (e.g., single-cell RNA-seq and epigenomics) that allow more precise description of molecular and cellular changes that occur as a function of age, sleep/circadian rhythm and AD progression.
Stay up-to-date on current practices by attending this annual, intensive, 3.5-day, in-person, interdisciplinary conference which incorporates sleep and circadian biology and focuses on genetics, genomics, and computational biology approaches!
This course is perfect for: graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior and senior investigators from the fields of aging and Alzheimer's disease, neurodegeneration, genetics of sleep/circadian biology and computational biology.
This course will feature:

Lodging at JAX's Highseas Lodging center has reached capacity.
Participants will be responsible for securing off-campus lodging and may refer to the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce website for a guide on hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts, and short-term rentals in the Bar Harbor area.
Air
Bar Harbor is serviced by two airports:
Hancock County/Bar Harbor Airport (BHB) – 20 minutes away
Bangor International Airport (BGR) – 1hr 15 minutes away
Public transportation is not available from local airports. Please visit the Bar Harbor and Bangor airport services webpages for information on shuttles to and from Mount Desert Island. Rideshare options like Uber or Lyft are not commonly available.
Ground
Bar Harbor is approximately 5 hours by car from the greater Boston area. Rental cars are available from Hertz at either nearby airport. Additionally, there is a free Island Explorer bus system which can be used around the island and the national park.
