Hormone-Dependent Cancers (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Deciphering Tumor and Microenvironment Factors Underlying Cancer Initiation and Progression

August 5 - 6, 2023

 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Hormone-Dependent Cancers 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.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Hormone-Dependent Cancers" 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.
