This partnership will be instrumental in bringing together basic scientists with clinicians and clinician-scientists to accelerate translational advances that will impact patients. We are thrilled to connect with the Endocrine Society to facilitate this common goal.

Interoception: The Sixth Sense

Often described as the ‘sixth sense,’ interoception conveys a different kind of information to the brain than the traditional five senses. While sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch all sense and convey external information, interoception senses and conveys internal information, as the name suggests. Scientists are just beginning to discover how critical interoception is to monitoring and modulating essential bodily functions, including organ function, immunity and even our emotions and behavior. To explore this exciting, and rapidly expanding new field, Keystone Symposia will convene a meeting on Interoception: Neural Sensing and Control of Organ Function, on April 22-24, 2025, at the Allen Institute in Seattle, Washington.  READ MORE

Regenerative Biology of the Female Reproductive Tract

A mix of social, political, and cultural factors has deterred researchers and diverted funds from female reproductive biology for far too long, and women’s health has suffered because of it. To address this oversight, Keystone Symposia will convene a meeting on the Regenerative Biology of the Female Reproductive System from April 10-12, 2025, in Beverly, Mass. It will cover mechanisms of regeneration, fertility, gynecologic conditions, reproductive tract cancers, and more, capturing the breadth of this expanding field while acknowledging that much of this work is long overdue.  READ MORE
