Conference Description
The Cell Death 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.
Cell death is a fundamental biological process essential for development, tissue homeostasis, and immune regulation. Dysregulation of cell death pathways—whether through excessive activation or evasion—underpins the pathogenesis of a wide range of diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, autoimmunity, and infection. The Gordon Research Seminar on Cell Death will spotlight emerging insights into the molecular mechanisms driving diverse forms of regulated cell death, as well as the processes by which tissues detect and respond to dying cells. This focus on both the execution and sensing of cell death will enhance our understanding of how physiological and pathological cell death shapes health and disease. Additionally, the seminar will explore the therapeutic potential of modulating these pathways. By bringing together early-career researchers across disciplines, this meeting offers a dynamic platform to foster collaboration, inspire innovation, and support the next generation of scientists advancing the cell death 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 March 17, 2026. Please check back for updates.
