AKN Meeting 2007

Association of Korean Neuroscientists (AKN) Annual Symposium, 2007
Poster Session: Tuesday, November 6, 2007, 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Location: San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, California, USA (Room 3)

Following the tradition of the AKN Symposia held in the past, we held a poster session during which 36 posters were presented and a total of about 250 members attend the reception and poster session.

The posters were selected by the Symposium Committee Members, spearheaded by Eunjoon Kim at KAIST for Korean members and by Kendall Lee at Mayo Clinic for members from US and other geographical areas. The list of posters and program can be viewed at this link (pages 4-5 of final brochure).

Posters that were presented by students and postdoctoral fellows were selected for AKN awards. The application for the awards were solicited and accepted at the same time as poster presentation request. They submitted their abstracts and CVs for the Award Selection Committee members. The awardees had to be present during the meeting to be eligible for the award. Some presentations were noted to be outstanding, but did not received further consideration for award since the presentators were not present. Award certificate and cash awards were presented during the meeting.
