The Surprising Heart: A Hetero-Cellular, Multi-Physics, and Inter-Disciplinary Challenge

The Gordon Research Seminar on Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to (1) present early career scientists with an opportunity to interact with their peers in an informal atmosphere, (2) to provide presentation opportunities among like-minded fellows, and (3) to offer a forum to discuss career paths and learn from the experience of a number of select established senior scientists. In order to ensure a multi-disciplinary character of the meeting we encourage submissions describing a wide range of research approaches, including molecular, computational, clinical, etc., and we encourage GRS participants to also apply for participation at the GRC.

The meeting will feature a keynote presentation by Professor José Jalife, MD (Cyrus and Jane Farrehi Professor of Cardiovascular Research, University of Michigan Medical School).
