How to Organize a Nanosymposium

May 22, 2023

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT

Organizing a “Nano” is a fantastic opportunity to network and connect with others in your field. Don’t know how to organize a nano or find others to participate? This webinar will review how to select a topic, identify others who might be interested in joining, and how to recruit others to join the nano.

Speakers

Diana Bautista, PhD

Diana Bautista is a HHMI Investigator and professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Bautista’s research aims to decipher the neuroimmune interactions underlying itch, pain and inflammation. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Oregon and her PhD in Neuroscience from Stanford University. She completed her postdoctoral training with David Julius at University of California, San Francisco.

Yalda Moayedi, PhD

Yalda Moayedi is an Assistant Professor in the Pain Research Center, Department of Molecular Pathobiology at New York University College of Dentistry. Dr. Moayedi’s research focuses on understanding the biology of somatosensory neurons that innervate the oral cavity and upper airway, and how they contribute to orally-guided functions such as flavor perception, feeding mechanics, and speech. She received her BS in Neurobiology from The University of Texas at Austin and her PhD in Neuroscience from Baylor College of Medicine in the labs of Drs. Graeme Mardon and Andrew Groves. She completed her postdoctoral training at Columbia University with Dr. Ellen Lumpkin.

Rose Hill, PhD

Rose Hill is a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Prof. Ardem Patapoutian at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California. Dr. Hill studies the roles of peripheral sensory neurons in itch and inflammation. She is also interested in the sensory neurons that innervate the internal organs and their functions in regulating homeostasis and physiology. She earned her B.S. in Biochemistry & Cell Biology from UC San Diego and her Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley.
