Conference Description

The Hypothalamus GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

The seminar will encompass a wide range of topics within hypothalamic research including cellular, molecular and functional heterogeneity of hypothalamic subnuclei, hypothalamic circuit connectivity, control of internal states by the hypothalamus as well as behaviors, including but not limited to feeding, metabolism, social behaviors, and circadian rhythms. There will be a poster session and speaker opportunities (selected from abstracts) to showcase trainee research. The seminar will include a panel discussion on careers in neuroscience. The overall goal of the seminar is to provide a safe and inclusive environment for trainees to showcase their work, engage in lively scientific discussions and develop a strong and supportive trainee community of emerging leaders in the hypothalamus field.

* Dr. Dayu Lin, Professor at NYU School of Medicine, will be the keynote speaker for the GRS Hypothalamus *

At this time, the seminar is oversubscribed, and we have gone through the initial round of acceptances. If spaces are available, applicants off the waitlist will be notified.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Hypothalamus" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
