Conference Description
The Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity 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.
This year's Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity (CMMT) GRS aims to explore new methodologies developed to evaluate toxicological endpoints through a individualized lens. The session will highlight the importance of population profiling in identifying mechanistic targets in toxicological research and assessments. To highlight the rising need for mentorship in transitioning into the early professional space, the CMMT GRS will be hosting a career development session to elucidate the skills that are required for a future career in science. Seminar attendees will also have the opportunity to network with international mentors across scientific fields in toxicology through our mentoring session.
The 2-day seminar will be hosted in a remote location where attendees can freely engage in academic discussion, collaboration, and community. Doctoral and post-doctoral researchers are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts using unpublished research to stimulate discussion, harnessing the seminar's international perspective for the advancement of toxicological research. A select number of these abstracts will be chosen to have presented through oral and poster presentations during the seminar, and may even be selected to present at the CMMT GRC in the following days. The 5-day CMMT GRC follows on from the GRS, continuing conversation and networking at a larger scale, with more opportunities to learn about cutting-edge research and find community within the toxicology field. Attendees of the GRS are encouraged to attend the following CMMT GRC to engage in all the GRS/GRC has to offer!
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 June 10, 2025. Please check back for updates.
