Conference Description
The Meiosis 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.
Meiosis is a specialized cell division that is essential to the generation of haploid gametes (e.g., sperm and eggs), and thus is critical to sexually reproducing species. The research presented throughout the program uses diverse model organisms and innovative experimental techniques to provide novel insights into molecular regulation of meiosis. Of particular interest is research pertaining to meiotic DNA repair via recombination, chromosome pairing and segregation, and quality control of gametogenesis.
Trainees participating in talks and poster sessions have a unique and invaluable opportunity to receive feedback on their research from established senior investigators within the meiosis community. The GRS also provides space for networking and collaboration with other investigators in the field.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by April 2, 2024. Please check back for updates.
