Saltiel Life Sciences Symposium
Honoring our most important values — excellence in science, investment in high-impact research, and the spark that happens when researchers with diverse perspectives come together.
Each year, the LSI brings together top scientists from a range of disciplines to share work around a common theme.
The event represents the LSI’s most important values: excellence in science, investment in high-impact research, and the spark that happens when researchers with varied expertise exchange ideas, methods, and insights.
The symposium has been ingrained in the institute's DNA from the very beginning — with the first event in 2002 happening while construction on the LSI building was still underway.
In 2016 the event was named the Saltiel Life Sciences Symposium to honor the contributions of former director Alan Saltiel.
The 2025 Saltiel Life Sciences Symposium will examine the next-generation genetic tools that are unlocking new discoveries and understandings of human health and disease.
