Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Chronobiology 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. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be participants, not just spectators.

This meeting will in particular focus on molecular and physiological aspects of the clock and its relevance in health and disease. In the intimate setting of the Gordon Research Seminar, junior scientists will also have the opportunity to gain insight into diverse career areas from fellow Chronobiologists who will be available to share their experience.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Chronobiology" 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.
