Viral Pathogenesis and Application to Treatment

The Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma 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.

This seminar aims to introduce the frontier of basic and translational research related to Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. We will discuss the mechanisms in the development and progression of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma based on molecular, cellular and clinical studies, as well as share the inspring findings on the diagnosis, therapy and prevention of this disease. We welcome all the cell biologists, molecular biologists, cancer biologists, virologists, bioinformaticians, clinicians and others to attend this meeting.

Application Instructions

The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.

The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by February 25, 2024. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.

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. A final 1-hour session takes place just after lunch, and the associated GRC begins later that evening.
