ASAP COSA 2024

ASAP Celebration of Scientific Achievement (COSA) 2024

We invite you to join us for the third convening of ASAP Celebration of Scientific Achievement (COSA) 2024. This event will showcase the unique contributions of students, postdocs, techs, and staff scientists who are part of the ASAP Collaborative Research Network (CRN). Each CRN team brings together investigators across multiple disciplines, institutions, career stages, and geographies seeking to tackle key knowledge gaps in the basic mechanisms that contribute to Parkinson’s development and progression. By spotlighting the next generation of PD researchers and creating a global venue for engagement, this event aims to foster collaboration within and across CRN teams and celebrate CRN progress to date.

Event Goals

• Promote information exchange across CRN, particularly among and between graduate and PhD students as well as post-doctoral researchers, research techs, and staff scientists
• Foster peer networking, engagement, & collaboration across CRN
• Provide opportunity to receive formal & informal feedback from peers, senior researchers, & PD community
