Poster session
We encourage abstract submission for posters. The poster session will provide a unique opportunity for students and postdocs to highlight emerging science on organelle structure and function, as well as aspects of organelle biology that affect human health and pathology.
Power talks
Attendees are welcome to present posters. Selected abstracts will be chosen for authors to feature their work in a short (3 min) oral presentation to highlight the accompanying posters. The program will allow ample opportunity throughout the day for networking.
Hotel and parking accommodations
The Hilton La Jolla Torrey pines hotel located in La Jolla offers views of the Pacific Ocean and overlooks the renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course. For overnight stays, reservations can be made directly by calling (858) 558-1500 or reserve online.
