Day 1

I trust you all had a wonderful first night at UKC 2024. I’m thrilled to launch the conference sessions with each of you. We’ve curated an exciting lineup, including plenary sessions, the Future Opportunity Symposium (FOS), forums, and Technical Group (TG) sessions. I’m confident that this conference will offer a remarkable learning and networking experience for every participant. 

A special thank you to Prof. Thomas C. Südhof for delivering the opening lecture on “My Path in Science: From Cholesterol Metabolism to Neurotransmitter Release to Alzheimer’s Disease.” 

FIRE Symposium: This gathering of 100 young professionals offers development insights and networking opportunities both within and outside their fields of expertise. FIRE will be held from 4-6 PM at the Poolside Pavilion, starting with welcoming remarks and introductory networking, followed by Career Flash Talks. Please see our booklet for more information.
