From Innovation in Tropical Infectious Diseases to Global Health Solutions

The 2019 Gordon Research Seminar on Tropical Infectious Diseases is a unique forum for junior scientists to receive mentoring, expand their professional network and exchange cutting-edge ideas on basic and translational bacterial, viral and parasitic disease research. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their research projects in oral or poster presentations and to interact closely with senior scientist mentors throughout the meeting. The GRS will conclude with an interactive career panel featuring non-traditional career options that can arise from tropical disease research. Following the GRS, participants are encouraged to apply and attend the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Tropical Infectious Diseases, which will highlight major advances on the same topics.

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.
