Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Glial Biology: Functional Interactions Among Glia and Neurons 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The overarching goal of this seminar is to provide trainees a forum for exchanging unpublished findings, opportunities to network, and chances to discuss any new issues or methods in the field of glial biology. Scientifically, the aim is to improve our understanding of glial diversity and how this diversity impacts glial function in both health and disease. Platform presentations will be selected from abstracts of unpublished findings; however, all GRS participants will present their work via poster presentations.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Glial Biology: Functional Interactions Among Glia and Neurons" 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.
