ABOUT THE SERIES
Bridging the Gap: Translational Neuroscience Seminar Series explores challenges and opportunities for advancing translational neuroscience, in a format geared to support productive and valuable discussion:

FOCUS ON TRANSLATION

FOSTERING CONNECTION
The series links audiences and speakers from across the Weill Neurohub-affiliated institutions (UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley, University of Washington, Allen Institute) as well as industry partners Roche and Genentech, who are joined to the Weill Neurohub through the Alliance for Therapies in Neuroscience partnership.

ENGAGING FORMAT
Each seminar will feature a 30 minute chalk-talk-style presentation, followed by ample time for lively discussion and informal engagement by attendees.

SAVE THE DATE
This is a recurring monthly seminar series taking place on the first Tuesday of each month at 12:00pm (PT).
