The Power of Fungi: From Cell Biology to Ecology

The Gordon Research Seminar on Cellular and Molecular Fungal Biology is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to integrate, and synthesize multiple aspects and approaches in fungal research. It aims to facilitate the involvement and collaboration of early-career scientists immersed in multiple fields of fungal biology. Participants of the GRS will present their research and engage in scientific discussions, thereby gaining knowledge and confidence for their participation in the Gordon Research Conference on Cellular and Molecular Fungal Biology. This is a unique opportunity for young researchers to present their work, share ideas, and build connections with their colleagues and with respected authorities and leading international experts on fungal research.
