The Celebration of Life gala will be held at 4:30 p.m., Thursday at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla.

Gov. Jerry Brown will deliver remarks at Biocom's annual Celebration of Life dinner at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine on Thursday evening.

He will be honored as the Elected Official of the Year by the life sciences organization.

The keynote speaker at the annual event is brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor, who studied her own stroke as it happened. She has since become a powerful voice for brain recovery.

Taylor spent eight years recovering from the stroke and has been featured on Oprah, has spoken at TED and was one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in 2008.
