International Conference Optogenetics+ 2020 and the School on Advanced Methods of Non-invasive Control of Neuronal Activity
22/04/2020 - 26/04/2020
In April, 2018 the first Conference “Optogenetics and Optopharmacology” took place in St. Petersburg. This year, the second Russian Conference with international participation “Optogenetics+ 2020 ” will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia, from 22 to 26 April at the Sechenov Institute of Evolutionary Physiology and Biochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The conference Program will feature problems of optogenetics and optopharmacology, optosensors and chemogenetics, thermogenetics, targeted delivery of proteins, problems of prosthetics of sensory systems, toxicity and stability of optogenetic tools, interpretation of results and other issues.
Simultaneously with the Conference, on April 25 2020, the “School on Advanced Methods of Non-invasive Control of Neuronal Activity” will take place, which will feature a series of lectures for young researchers on the current state of optobiological methods, a round table discussion and special sessions on unsolved research issues.
The working languages of the conference are English and Russian. In the present situation, it is expected that there will be the possibility of online attendance.
