Conference Description
The Cell Polarity 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.
Proper polarity establishment and aberrant polarity signaling have significant implications in both development and disease. Polarity signaling logic, often integrated with various mechanochemical factors, guides cellular- and tissue-scale outputs like cell division, cell migration, embryonic axis establishment, and the generation of organismal form. Failure to establish polarity axes often leads to disease pathologies like cancer and birth defects. The Gordon Research Seminar on Cell Polarity Signaling will therefore highlight work on polarity network initiation, maintenance, and integration with other distinct signaling pathways. A particular focus will be given to bridging the molecular, cellular, and tissue scales. This meeting welcomes early career researchers across disparate fields to discuss cutting-edge advances in the field of Cell Polarity and to feature approaches including live imaging, genetics, computational biology, and synthetic biology.
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 2, 2024. Please check back for updates.
