Stress Workshop - 2008

June 12 - 15, 2008
Embassy Suites Hotel
San Rafael, CA

The American Neuroendocrine Society (ANS) sponsored Neuroendocrine Workshop on Stress will take place from June 12th to June 15th, 2008 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in San Rafael, CA. Major areas to be addressed at the workshop include stress and epigenetics, neuroadaptation and plasticity induced by stress; and sex-related differences in stress responsivity. In addition, a session will celebrate Dr. Mary Dallman’s contributions to the neuroendocrinology of stress on the occasion of her retirement from UCSF. During the 2008 Workshop, Dr. Bruce McEwen will deliver a keynote address and a session will be devoted to new approaches for the study of stress neuroendocrinology. There will also be an open poster session for other scientific contributions. Further information can be found on the ANS website (www.neuroendocrine.org). Other inquires should be directed to Dr. Jim Koenig (jkoenig@mprc.umaryland.edu).

Androgen Excess and PCOS Society 4th Special Scientific Meeting

Saturday, June 14, 2008, 8:00am – 5:00pm

Glucocorticoids and Mood: Clinical Manifestations, Risk Factors and Molecular Mechanisms

June 20-21, 2008
Marriott Del Mar Hotel
San Diego, CA

This conference will explore emerging research on the role of altered glucocorticoid receptor sensitivity in pathogenesis of disease. Molecular mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance and sensitivity, implications for pathogenesis of clinical syndromes and side-effects of glucocorticoid therapy and implications for new therapeutic targets will be discussed.
