Conference Description
The Central Nervous System Injury and Repair 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 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on “Central Nervous System Injury and Repair”, together with the accompanying Gordon Research Conference (GRC), provides a forum for early career investigators to exchange the most exciting and cutting-edge scientific data and novel ideas in the rapidly advancing fields of injury, regeneration, and repair of the central nervous system (CNS), with particular emphasis on spinal cord injury. In concert with the GRC program, speakers will present innovative research topics ranging from neuroprotective, neuroregenerative, neuromodulatory, neurotechnological and other strategies.
This GRS will foster collaboration, stimulate scientific creativity, and help early-career investigators (including researchers and trainees from undergraduate to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early assistant professors), to expand their networks alongside peers with shared interests and diverse experiences. We encourage a breadth of diversity of meeting participants across gender, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and geographical locations that will facilitate a broad and enriched communication of the scientific content. This meeting will be held in an intimate, intellectually stimulating setting to discuss the most current and innovative topics of CNS injury and repair through a poster session and selected participant talks. We encourage early career scientists with an interest in CNS injury and repair to attend both the GRS and accompanying GRC.
