1. NIDA Satellite Meeting at CPDD: Fundamental Genetics in Drug Abuse and Addiction
Friday, June 17, 2011, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM http://www.cpdd.vcu.edu/Pages/satellitemeetings2011.html
Are you curious about new genetics findings in drug abuse? Want to better understand and appreciate this emerging literature? Perhaps incorporate genetics techniques in your own research? Maybe you are thinking of multidisciplinary training that includes population or molecular genetics. How might you go about establishing collaborations with genetics experts? Do you want to know about accessing informational resources, e.g., are there polymorphisms for this gene? What genes have been associated with this behavior? Is a knock-out mouse available? For additional information, please contact mlynch1@nida.nih.gov
2. Short Course on the Genetics of Addiction
Supported by National Institute on Drug Abuse Grant - DA030036, The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, LabDiet and TestDiet
Date: August 14-18, 2011
Location: The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine
Website: http://courses.jax.org/2011/addiction
This course emphasizes genetic applications and approaches to drug addiction research through methodological instruction based on literature, data sets and informatics resources drawn from studies of addiction related phenotypes. The course includes plenary sessions on major progress in addiction genetics, and discussion sessions in which students present their work for discussion on applications of genetic methods. Students will leave the course able to design and interpret genetic and genomic studies of addiction as they relate to their specific research question, and will be able to make use of current bioinformatics resources to identify research resources and make use of public data sources in their own research.
A limited number of scholarships may be available to help attendees with travel expenses.

8:15 – 9:35 Autism, Addiction, and MeCP2
9:35-10:10 Jacob P. Waletzky Memorial Lecture
10:30-12:15 Synapse Organization and Plasticity in Drug Addiction
12:15- 2:15 Early Career Investigators Poster Session
2:15-4:10 Using Optogenetic Tools to Shed Light on the Neural Mechanisms of Addiction
4:20-5:40 Neurobiology of Behavioral and Emotional Regulation/Dysregulation
