Mammary Gland Biology (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Connecting Mammary Gland Development and Tumorigenesis: Recent Advances and Emerging Views

June 10 - 11, 2017
Chairs and

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Mammary Gland Biology 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.

Through poster and oral presentations, the 2017 GRS on Mammary Gland Biology will feature novel, unpublished research from around the world that focuses on normal mammary gland development and breast cancer. The meeting's congenial setting will provide a unique opportunity for networking and establishing collaborations amongst early career investigators.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Mammary Gland Biology" 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.
