Conference Description
The Gordon Research Seminar on Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms
of Toxicity is a unique forum for graduate students, postdocs, and other early
career scientists to present and exchange novel, cutting-edge ideas.
The focus of this
meeting is to provide young scientists and investigators with an inviting forum
for the exchange and discussion of new/unpublished data on mechanistic
toxicology. The GRS will highlight recent advancements in the field of
microbiome analysis, aimed towards safety assessment and understanding
mechanisms of toxicity. The GRS will include a scientific development session with
panelists from industry, government, and academia in order to provide attendees
with information regarding data rigor and reproducibility.
Attendees are expected
to fully participate in the GRS and present original research, thus all
applications must include an abstract. Young scientists are invited to present
research on all areas of mechanistic toxicology including microbiome modeling,
translational studies, computational toxicology, and more. The GRS will include
approximately 8 graduate student/postdoc platform presentations, which the
Chairs will select from the abstracts. All attendees are expected to present
their original research by presenting a poster. In order to participate, you
must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Deadline
section above. All applicants are strongly encouraged to submit an application
for the associated Gordon Research Conference from August 14-19, 2017.
