Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Cell Biology of the Neuron 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 discussing outstanding discoveries in neural development, function, regeneration as well as diseases. This meeting will feature a keynote lecture delivered by Alex Kolodkin, a world-renowned leader in neural circuit development.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Cell Biology of the Neuron" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
