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.
As 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the Mammary Gland Biology Gordon Research Conference, this meeting will highlight emerging technologies and leading-edge research on mammary gland development and disease within the context of its own history. The goal of this meeting is to encourage open discussion and the sharing of ideas among young investigators in the fields of mammary gland biology and breast cancer research.
This meeting will also include a special session for early career researchers that will focus on training opportunities at the NCI and grantsmanship.

Program Format
Gordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated GRC. The GRS opens with a 1-hour introductory session on Saturday afternoon, followed by a poster session, dinner and a 2-hour session in the evening. Sunday morning begins with breakfast and is followed by another 2-hour session, a second poster session, and lunch.
