Mechanisms of Mutagenesis and Genome Alterations

The Gordon Research Conference on Mutagenesis is launching an associated Gordon Research Seminar for the first time. This unique symposium is an exemplary opportunity for graduate students, post-docs, and beginning scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present their ongoing and new research.

The focus of this meeting is to bring together young scientists prior to the main conference thereby providing them an opportunity to exchange ideas, future goals, and career paths. The scientific content/talks will be selected from submitted abstracts. Discussion leaders will also be selected from the applicant pool. All attendees are encouraged to present posters of their ongoing, current, and unpublished data. A portion of the GRS will be dedicated to a mentorship component where a career panel comprising scientists from different backgrounds including academic professors, members from funding agencies, and industry will be invited to share their journey and insight into career development.
