The Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar on Genes & Behavior 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 meeting will focus on new insights and common principles arising from recent studies on the relationships between genes and behavior, and we are particularly interested in bringing together researchers using both “traditional behavioral models” and “traditional genetic models,” as well as researchers studying human behavior genetics. We will be joined by a carefully selected group of senior scientists who will serve as mentors, but the vast majority of speakers and attendees will be junior scientists.
