About

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 the virtual format of this annual, 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.

The virtual version of this course will feature:

Live-streamed lectures to introduce trainees to the fundamentals of sleep/circadian biology and advanced computational approaches in genetics and genomics.
Access to recordings of sessions, which will be made available on a centralized canvas course within 72 hours of airing.
The opportunity for virtual participants to participate in Q&A with speakers.
