The Complex Biology and Pathobiology of Sphingolipids and Glycosphingolipids

For the first time, a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Glycolipid and Sphingolipid Biology will be held, in conjunction with the GRC. The GRS is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present new data, exchange cutting edge ideas and build informal networks that may lead to a lifetime of collaboration and scientific achievement.

The focus of this meeting is on the complex biology and pathobiology of sphingolipids and glycosphingolipids. The meeting will consist of integrated scientific sessions, which will span biosynthesis, biochemistry, biophysics, trafficking, cell biology, and the role of sphingolipids in disease and the therapeutic approaches for treating these diseases. Speakers will exclusively be early-career researchers and will be selected from submitted abstracts. The GRS will conclude with a career mentoring session.
