Conference Description
The Metals in Medicine 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.
This will be the first ever Metals in Medicine GRS and will provide an informal setting to facilitate stimulating scientific discussions and idea exchange, as well as the opportunity to establish collaborations with fellow graduate students, post-docs, and other early career scientists in your research field. The meeting will focus on uniting the key areas of metals in medicine at the interface of inorganic, organometallic, supramolecular and radiochemistry. The GRS will include three sessions of original research talks by invited graduate students, post-docs, or early-career scientists, two poster sessions, a panel discussion on mental health in academia, and a keynote lecture. Additionally, plenty of time will be reserved for you to get to know your peers and to establish a community ahead of the affiliated GRC, which we encourage you to also apply to attend.
Application Instructions
The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.
The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by March 17, 2024. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.
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.
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 23, 2024. Please check back for updates.
