Conference Description
The Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering 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.
The field of biomaterials and tissue engineering is undergoing a transformation, driven by breakthroughs across multiple scales—from nanoscale materials to macroscale constructs. This GRS meeting will bring together early-career researchers and experts to explore cutting-edge advancements in multiscale biomaterials, focusing on their applications in both tissue and disease modeling, as well as regenerative medicine. A special mentorship component will guide attendees through diverse career pathways in regenerative biomaterials and biomanufacturing, emphasizing the connection between translational science and regulatory challenges. This interactive forum will encourage collaboration, inspire innovative approaches, and help define the future directions of the field, propelling the development of new medical solutions.
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 20, 2025. 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 May 27, 2025. Please check back for updates.
