11^th Annual SBP Rare Disease Day Symposium and Bi-Annual CDG Family Conference

“Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation”

Friday, February 28–Sunday, March 1, 2020
The Dana on Mission Bay, San Diego, CA

$45/day or $150 for the full meeting*
*Registration sponsorships available for poster session presenters

In February 2020, basic researchers, clinicians, patients, family members and advocates will bring their talents and special stories to Mission Bay in San Diego, CA. Together, we will foster new perspectives, ideas, and collaborations, and accelerate therapeutic efforts for those living with CDG.

SBP’s scientific symposium will be held Friday, February 28 and Saturday, February 29, 2020, kicking off with an inspiring keynote presentation on “The Basic Science Origins of CDG” from Nobel Laureate Randy Schekman, PhD, UC Berkeley. In addition, 16 noted CDG-focused scientists and clinicians have agreed to speak on the following topics:

1. PMM2-CDG: Overview, Models and Therapies
2. Other Glycosylation Disorders: Models and Therapies
3. Basic Science of Multiple CDGs

The three-day event will conclude on Sunday, March 1 with the CDG Family Conference. Family topics include education on the science behind CDG, resources available for patients and families, and interventional and therapeutic approaches.

We are also excited to offer a Poster Session the evening of Friday, February 29—an opportunity for junior investigators and postdocs to present emerging science alongside patient and advocate presenters.

ASBMB 2020 Meeting

April 4, 2020

American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) 2020 Meeting

The ASBMB 2020 Meeting will be held April 4-7 at the San Diego convention center. Along with outstanding award lectures, poster sessions, and workshops, this year six thematic sessions covering foundational areas of biochemistry and molecular biology will meet each of the three mornings of the conference. One of the themes is entitled, Glycosylation and Extracellular Matrix in Development, Repair, and Disease, co-chaired by Drs. Jamey Marth and Joanne Murphy-Ullrich. They have invited 12 world-class scientists to speak in this three-day theme. We hope to have many abstracts submitted relevant to glycosylation and extracellular matrix. Additional Spotlight sessions will be added to the program drawn from the submitted abstracts, allowing students, postdoctoral scholars, and other young scientists to present their work orally. Additional abstracts will be chosen for 1 min flash talks, giving the presenter an opportunity to advertise their poster during the morning sessions. Abstracts are due November 14. For more details about the conference, see https://www.asbmb.org/meeting2020/.
