Conference Description
The Calcium Signaling 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 meeting focuses on the basic science of calcium signaling with attention paid to cellular physiology. From the neuron to the cardiomyocyte, calcium homeostasis is critical to cell function and is regulated by a variety of shared mechanisms and signaling pathways. Critically, discussion topics and research presented will highlight advancements in our understanding of ion transport, regulation, and organelle function, allowing a variety of disciplines to unite under the umbrella of calcium signaling. The seminar includes an opening keynote followed by trainee-led Q and A, selected oral symposia, poster sessions, and a mentoring component, providing trainees with resources for scientific and professional development. Attendees leave well-equipped and are strongly encouraged to attend the following GRC and continue to grow as young investigators in the calcium signaling field.
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 7, 2026. Please check back for updates.
