Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Dendrites: Molecules, Structure and Function 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.

The goal of this meeting is to encourage interactions among young scientists representing a broad spectrum of dendritic research, from the molecular to the microcircuit level. This two-day seminar will give young researchers a platform to highlight their work, and will provide a venue for professional development through a career panel consisting of representatives from the fields of academia and industry.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Dendrites: Molecules, Structure and Function" 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.
