Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Oxygen Radicals 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 goal of this meeting is to discuss newest developments in the field of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The meeting aims to span from mechanistic studies to applied studies (e.g. medicine or biology) involving ROS. Young scientists will be given the opportunity to present advancements in scientific research and methodological tools and to discuss with peers. Additionally a mentoring and career development session will be held facilitating the exchange between young researchers with established experts in the field.

Young scientists from all fields (e.g. chemistry, biology, medicine…) dealing with ROS are encouraged to participate in order to reflect the entire spectrum and importance of ROS and to enable fruitful exchange between field.

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Oxygen Radicals" 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.
