Conference Description
The Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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 conference will explore mechanisms ranging from the nanoscale organization of neurons to the circuit-level processes that generate behavior. Speakers will discuss new technologies, approaches, and concepts to integrate our understanding of the brain from how synapses are formed and organized, to how the brain integrates and processes sensory information, to how it ages and is impacted by disease.
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 March 21, 2026. Please check back for updates.
