Conference Description
The Atherosclerosis GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
This Gordon Research Seminar brings together the latest in genetic discovery, molecular mechanisms, and translational research related to the complex disease processes of atherosclerosis. In a collegial atmosphere this comprehensive seminar provides a unique forum for doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their unpublished work and ideas among peers. Driven by a vested interest in innovation, our seminar will encourage collaborative networking, promote inclusive discussions, and enable an open exchange about the challenges and failures along the scientific path.
Gordon Conferences are committed to diverse participation, and the GRS chairs highly encourage prospective attendees to apply for the diversity fellowships for which they are eligible (for more information, see https://www.grc.org/about/grc-diversity-initiatives/). Please do not hesitate to contact the chairs with any questions.

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.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by April 22, 2025. Please check back for updates.
