We wish to welcome you to Montreal!

The 2010 Serotonin Club meeting is being held at the Hôtel Omni Mont-Royal, Montreal Canada, from July 9-11, 2010. Summer in Montreal is a beautiful time of year.  

This year’s theme “Serotonin: the next wave” is meant to capture the goal of presenting the latest developments in serotonin research. The program includes the leading researchers in serotonin, and highlights the most recent advances in multiple aspects of serotonin research.

We invite all participants to stay at the Meeting accommodations for which we have negotiated competitive rates. Make reservations before June 9, 2010, and receive discounted hotel and registration rates, and help to support the meeting. Hotels fill up fast at this time so do not hesitate to reserve your spot!

We hope you will have a wonderful meeting and spend some time enjoying the city of Montreal. We wish you safe travels and look forward to greeting you.

Sincerely,

Deadline extended for Young Investigator Travel Awards to April 15^th.

The NIH grant submitted to support the young investigators has received a very favorable score.  If funded the Serotonin Club will provide approximately $1500 to Young Investigators chosen to present as the fourth speaker in one of the meeting’s 12 symposia.  Applicants must be graduate students or three years or less post-graduation.  Applicants are asked to submit (1) their meeting abstract, (2) a brief supporting letter from the applicant’s training program director or department head to confirm the applicant’s academic status and need for travel monies, (3) and the symposia from the meeting program that the candidate would like to be a participant to Shatich Rivers at Rivers@email.chop.edu.  Awards will be competitive and judged on the overall merits of the applicant and the submitted abstract.  The awards selection committee will be composed of officers of the Serotonin Club, members of the organizing committee and chairs of each symposium.

In addition, the Serotonin Club will also recognize the work of young researchers through Outstanding Abstract Awards ($700). The criteria for selection are academic status of the applicant (ie. students, post-doctoral fellows, junior researchers not more than three years past their postdoctoral period of training) and scientific merit of the abstract. The awards selection committee will be composed of officers of the Serotonin Club, members of the organizing committee and chairs of each symposium. Awardees will be formally recognized at the opening reception and dinner.
