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.
Welcome to the 2024 Hormone-Dependent Cancers Gordon Research Seminar! Join us as we pioneer next-generation approaches in basic science and clinical data integration. This event is more than just groundbreaking research; it's about empowering the next generation of cancer researchers through career development and mentorship opportunities.
Our conference brings together graduate students, post-docs, and select early-career faculty to explore innovative strategies at the intersection of basic science and clinical data integration in hormone-dependent cancer research. Through trainee led cutting-edge oral and poster presentations, mentorship sessions, and networking opportunities, attendees will gain valuable skills, insights, and connections to advance their careers in this critical field.
Key highlights include mentorship sessions that offer personalized guidance from experienced professionals, while panel discussions provide insights from leaders in the field. Networking opportunities and social events connect attendees with their peers, potential collaborators, job opportunities, and mentors.
Join us as we shape the future of hormone-dependent cancer research together, pioneering new approaches and fostering the next generation of leaders in the field. We look forward to welcoming you to this transformative conference!

Program Format
Gordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated GRC. The GRS opens with a 1-hour introductory session on Saturday afternoon, followed by a poster session, dinner and a 2-hour session in the evening. Sunday morning begins with breakfast and is followed by another 2-hour session, a second poster session, and lunch. A final 1-hour session takes place just after lunch, and the associated GRC begins later that evening.
