The Great Lakes Chapter (GLC) of ASPET will hold its 38th Annual Scientific Meeting on Friday, June 13, 2025 at Northwestern University in Chicago. The theme of the 2025 meeting is “AI, Big Data, and Beyond: Computational Approaches to Drug Discovery and Pharmacology.” Our intent is to provide a forum for students, postdoctoral fellows, and scientists working in this area and related areas, to participate and engage in productive discussions with colleagues in the field. We have selected speakers that will be informative and relevant to both researchers in the PTSD/anxiety disorder subfield as well as practicing clinicians in the field. The annual meeting of the GLC of ASPET has historically provided an excellent forum of learning and exchanging of ideas in all fields of the pharmacological sciences and is a major networking event for biomedical scientists in the Great Lakes region of the Midwest. Featured events at the meeting include the Main Symposium, Young Investigator Symposium, Pharmacology Educators Symposium, Lunch and Learn career development event, and poster session. All biomedical topics are welcome in the poster session.

Symposium Speakers:
