"Autism 2009" Autism Spectrum Disorders: Research Update and Evidence-Based Treatment Models
Date: December 04, 2009
Location: Neuroscience Research Building Auditorium at UCLA
Los Angeles, California
Nationally-renowned CART faculty (including Drs. Geschwind, Bookheimer, McCracken and Kasari) will provide an overview of the latest scientific findings about etiological factors, core deficits, early screening and diagnosis, and innovative treatment models for children with autism and autism spectrum disorders. A conceptual framework, highlighted by various case scenarios and consideration of community resources, will be presented on how to make a thorough assessment and individual treatment plan. In addition, the complex role of genetics, and the use of brain imaging as state-of-the-art methods for understanding and developing treatments for autism, will be presented. This full-day symposium is for physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, other health professionals, teachers, autism service providers, and any others interested in learning about the latest breakthroughs in research and treatment in autism spectrum disorders.

Call for Abstracts for workshop "Bone Tissue: Hierarchical Simulations for Clinical Applications"
This workshop aims to bring together clinicians, bone and system biologists, mechanical and software engineers, and applied mathematicians to share the latest findings and formulate a plan to develop the next generation of three-dimensional multi-scale virtual rendering of bone tissue able to address specific clinical issues. The need for this workshop is based on
• the increasing evidence that bone shows a plethora of divergent characteristics through a hierarchically-organized heterogeneous structure that varies across nano- micro- , and macro- length scales; and
• the highly interdisciplinary nature of hierarchical modeling, based on developments that occur independently across multiple scientific disciplines and address phenomena manifested at the different scales.

Postdoctoral Fellows in Immunology
Postdoctoral Fellows in Immunology
Applications are invited from M.D./Ph.D. candidates interested in molecular and cellular mechanisms of autoimmune diseases including lupus, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis. Current projects include mechanisms and roles of skin dendritic cell migration in the development of inflammation (A Eriksson and RR Singh, J Immunol, Cutting Edge, December 1, 2008), role of Langerhans dendritic cells and gamma delta T cells in lupus dermatitis and autoimmune inflammation, role of gender bias in autoimmune diseases (Smith-Bouvier D, et al, J Exp Med 2008), mechanisms of fibrosis in kidneys (V Saxena et al, J Immunol 2008), mechanisms of fibrosis in scleroderma lung disease using human skin and lung lavage samples, T cell energy and activation, marginal zone B cell homeostasis, and mesenchymal stem cells; projects are mostly related to autoimmune disease and inflammation. US citizen / permanent residents and applicants of disadvantaged background are particularly encouraged to apply. There is one position available immediately; and one each available in May, June and July 2010.
