The 2012 Mortimer D. Sackler, M.D. Summer Institute will be held July 16-19, on Manhattan’s beautiful Upper East Side and directed by Dr. BJ Casey of the Sackler Institute at Weill Cornell Medical College and Dr. Bill Fifer of the Sackler Institute at Columbia University. This year’s course will focus on the themes of plasticity and learning, from molecule to bedside. Participants will benefit from lectures given by internationally renowned scientists in the fields of neuroscience, molecular biology, psychiatry, and psychology and from direct interaction with lecturers during both social and scientific events scheduled each evening. The institute is geared toward predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows with room and partial board provided for all selected attendees through generous support from the Mortimer D. Sackler, M.D. family.
Applications are now CLOSED for the 2012 Summer Institute. Please direct any further inquiries to Alisa Powers at alp2020@med.cornell.edu.
