Frontiers in Neuropharmacology is the title and theme of the second annual meeting of the Upstate New York Pharmacology Society, to be held Monday, May 13, 2013 at the Center for the Arts of the University at Buffalo.
The keynote address will be delivered by David R. Sibley of the
Molecular Pharmacology Division of the National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Dr. Sibley plans to present outcomes
of his latest research on novel screening approaches to identify
dopamine receptor modulators. Compounds with high affinity and
selectivity for dopamine receptor subtypes are targets for the
development of medications with application in clinical settings.
Scientific advances have identified viable pharmaceutical targets and
medicinal chemistry efforts have helped identify small molecules for
clinical advancement. |

The symposium will also include oral presentations from select graduate students and junior scientists in the UNYPS region as well as poster presentations of advanced laboratory research by undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students.
Financial Awards will be made for Best Posters presented by Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students, and Postdocs/Junior Scientists.
Graduate students selected to deliver 15-minute research talks in the Graduate Student Presidential Symposium will each receive $100 awards.
Program and all abstracts will be published in The Pharmacologist unless authors request otherwise. Please ensure all abstracts are formatted per publishing specifications.
