Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Mammary Gland 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 primary focus of this meeting is on cutting-edge research in mammary gland development and disease, bringing together young investigators active in these research areas. The goal is to encourage discussion that connects the fundamental processes during mammary gland development with alterations that occur during tumorigenesis.

This meeting will also include a special mentoring session to advise graduate students and post-docs on how make a successful career transition.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Mammary Gland Biology" 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.
