      2023 AKN Annual Research Symposium

      July 28 – 29

      Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA

      The symposium aims to bring together Korean research groups working in the U.S., fostering discussion and collaboration to advance neuroscience research. The target audience is faculty members and senior postdocs/researchers. The highlight of the symposium is the research innovation award that recognizes the most significant research achievement in the past 18 months. The symposium also provides ample opportunities to interact with PIs and other scientists formally and informally.  We believe this will provide unique opportunities for junior and senior Korean neuroscientists to share the latest research progress and form professional and personal connections.
