This America's School of Neuroimmunology workshop is in Charlottesville, VA and will have many speakers that bridge the gap between neuroscience and immunology, which is directly beneficial to my work. There are workshops that discuss new imaging techniques and the most recent work in neuro-inflammation. My background is immunology and my post-doctoral work is involved in traumatic brain injury and inflammatory response in the brain. Therefore, this conference will guide me in new techniques and discussions of recent work in this field in order to assist with current and future projects. The registration, food and room cost $850, and I have estimated $150 for travel by car and minor expenses for travel such as additional food while traveling.
