Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity 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.

Selected presentations will feature the most novel approaches and exciting findings in cellular and molecular toxicology mechanisms. Drs. David Waxman (Boston University) and Patricia Silveyra (UNC-Chapel Hill) will deliver the keynote session focusing on the 2019 meeting theme, "Mechanisms Governing Sexually Dimorphic Outcomes in Toxicology". The meeting will also include a career development session centered on Science Outreach and Communication and will feature panelists from various scientific sectors.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). 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.
