Mechanisms of Notch Signaling in Health and Disease

The Notch signaling pathway is a central mediator of short-range, inter-cellular communication in multicellular organisms. Alterations of Notch activity underlie a growing list of developmental syndromes, adult onset diseases, and cancers, expanding the interest in this pathway well beyond the boundaries of basic developmental and cell biology and into the areas of stem cell biology, cancer biology and therapeutics. In addition to the premier talks mentioned above, a number of abstracts will be selected for short oral presentations. The inclusion and integration of a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) exclusively for postdocs and graduate students prior to the GRC is a particular asset to draw new scientists into the field and encourage trainee participation. Most importantly, the combined GRC/GRS format excels in integrating students, postdocs and investigators wishing to enter a new field, such as the study of this important signaling pathway.

Due to limited accommodations at this venue, guest housing is very limited. To request family/guest housing please reach out to your Conference Operations Associate.
