Conference Description
The Mammalian Reproduction GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The scientific program covers critical topics such as germline specification and epigenetic reprogramming, sex determination and gonadal development, oocyte and sperm function, embryo-maternal communication, and the hormonal and environmental regulation of reproductive physiology. By integrating experts from developmental biology, epigenetics, environmental science, and bioengineering the meeting encourages cross-disciplinary dialogue that drives innovation.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by April 11, 2026. Please check back for updates.
