Advancements in Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Alcohol-Related Tissue-Injury: Targets for Treatment and Disease Prevention

Discussions will focus on current advancements in the field of alcohol-related tissue injury, novel models and techniques used in alcohol research, challenges trainees have encountered in their own work, and methods they have used to address those challenges.

This GRS attracts trainees studying different mechanisms of alcohol-induced tissue injury and treatment targets in various cells, organs, and systems. Participation in the trainee-led GRS will aid early-career scientists in putting their work into the “bigger picture” of alcohol-induced end-organ diseases and gain a deeper perspective on different approaches in alcohol research. The trainee-led format of the GRS will allow participants to share recent progress and unpublished data on their work. Importantly, the GRS fosters a close community between participants and will provide trainees with ample networking opportunities with fellow scientists.
