For those individuals interested in autoimmune diseases as well as basic science immunology, the SOM Division of Rheumatology/Allergy/Immunology offers a once a month conference on cutting-edge topics in immunity and autoimmunity. This conference is a mix of faculty lecture and “journal club”, and meets the first Friday of each month from 8-9AM in room 247 of The Stein Clinical Research Building. This conference may soon be attended by graduate and medical student for course credit. Contact David M. Rose, DVM, PhD (drose@vapop.ucsd.edu) for further information. The Rheumatic Diseases Core Center (RDCC), an NIH sponsored program, also sponsors a weekly seminar series on various topics in immunology and autoimmune diseases. The series meets Tuesday mornings at 8:30AM in the 1st floor conference room of the Leichtage Biomedical Sciences Building. A schedule can be obtained from the RDCC WEB site (http://medicine.ucsd.edu/rdcc/home.shtm). Additional Activities, Immunology and Autoimmunity
There are also numerous seminar series relating to biochemical and genetic mechanisms controling cell and molecular biology, many of which are directly related to the immune system. The Molecular Pathology Seminar Series is a monthly forum where program faculty from UCSD and institutional affiliates present their lastest laboratory results. Following the talk, students can chat with the seminar speeker over pizza, cookies, chips, and cheeze. The Cellular and Molecular Medicine Seminar Series maintains a somewhat broader focus on cellular and molecular biology. The Pathology Minisymposium Series focuses specifically on molecular mechanisms of human disease that can be studied and treated using small animal models. The Burnham Institute Seminar Series is a weekly multidisciplinary research series that brings in nationally- and internationally-recognized speakers focused on questions in molecular and cellular biology related to human disease.
The program also holds an Annual Spring Research Symposium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, where students present their work, discuss their ideas and hypotheses, and engage in some friendly scientific debate.
