Chromosome Dynamics (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Genomes in Flux: Regulation of Genome Structure and Function Across Space and Time

June 24 - 25, 2023
Chair Coral Y. Zhou
Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco
Via Giovanni Pascoli
Lucca (Barga), Lucca, Italy
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Chromosome Dynamics 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.

In addition to scientific enrichment, this GRS will also provide opportunities for junior scientists to network with one another and receive career advice from more senior scientists working in both academic and non-academic professions. We aim for attendees to leave the meeting with new colleagues and collaborators, as well as a refreshed outlook on their own scientific achievements and career path.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Chromosome Dynamics" 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.
