2024 Safadi Lecture: Light-Gated Membrane Channels: Discovery and Creation of Diversity, Principles from Structure, and Cellular Access to Biology
Chicago, IL US
September 4, 2024
Elevate Your Practice—Join the Frontline of Psychiatric Innovation Today.
Join us for an in-depth exploration of Dr. Karl Deisseroth’s revolutionary work treating major depression and autism spectrum disorders. This session will uncover his innovative blend of traditional pharmacological therapies with advanced neural stimulation techniques. Dr. Deisseroth's groundbreaking research in optogenetics and hydrogel-tissue chemistry has redefined our understanding of neurobiology, revealing intricate mechanisms of light-gated ion conduction. Participants will gain exclusive insights into the latest diagnostic and treatment strategies, equipping them to elevate their clinical practice and research. Designed to inspire continuous learning and critical thinking, this lecture offers the tools to apply cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches, driving improved outcomes in psychiatry and neurobiology. Don’t miss this opportunity to advance your expertise and enhance patient care—register now to stay ahead in your field.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals interested in psychiatry and new developments in optogenetics.
