Conference Description
The Gordon Research Seminar on Signal Transduction by Engineered Extracellular Matrices 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 seminar is conducted in an informal setting designed to foster both academic discussions and social interactions among peers with an emphasis on developing the scientific network of trainees.
This meeting will focus on the development and application of engineered matrices in advancing cell biology, tissue morphogenesis, and regenerative medicine technologies. This meeting will bring together early career trainees and investigators to network, collaborate, and expand their research programs in a collegial environment. The meeting will conclude with a career panel consisting of invited speakers from academia, industry, government, and science communication to offer "personalized" career advice for exploring/navigating diverse career paths.
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 April 23, 2022. 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.
