Events for you

This lecture explores how modern chemical synthesis and computational methods are advancing the development of small molecule medicines. It is aimed at those interested in chemistry and biomedical research who want to learn about the intersection of computational models and drug design. Attendees will gain insight into how these innovations help predict and create future medicines.

Professor Giordano Lippi presents research on the role of microRNAs in regulating genes linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. This lecture is intended for scientists, students, and professionals interested in brain development and genetic diseases. Attendees can learn about new tools aimed at restoring protein production to potentially treat disorders such as intellectual disability and epilepsy.

This retirement symposium will honor Dr. James R. Sellers for his major achievements in defining the structure-function relationships and regulation of myosin molecular motors over his remarkable 48 year NIH career. Esteemed scientists from the cytoskeleton and molecular motor fields — collaborators, colleagues, former trainees, and friends of Dr. Sellers — will speak. The event will be held in the Lipsett Amphitheater, NIH Bethesda Main Campus, on September 28, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with a live-stream option. While registration is free, it is required. Space is limited, so please register by August 14th. The agenda for the symposium will be emailed to the address you used during registration as the event date approaches.

This lecture presents advances in engineering therapeutic enzymes through accelerated evolution, targeting diseases such as gout and chronic pain. It is intended for researchers, students, and professionals interested in synthetic biology and drug development. Attendees will learn about novel biotechnology approaches from Christian Diercks, PhD at Scripps Research.

This conference explores how the human brain functions and the mechanisms behind its malfunctions. It is designed for researchers, students, and professionals interested in neuroscience and brain science. Attendees can learn about the complexity of neural processes and developments in understanding brain function.

Darrell Irvine, PhD, presents scientific research on controlling vaccine delivery to improve immune responses. Attendees will learn about advanced vaccine adjuvants and dosing strategies currently in clinical testing. This lecture is intended for those interested in vaccine science and biomedical research.
