Conference Description
The Myelin 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.
Myelinating glia are currently at the forefront of research, uncovering fundamental processes of neurodevelopment and neuroplasticity, underlying mechanisms of neuropathologies, and promising therapeutic targets for improving neurological function and repair. The Myelin Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) is a well-established venue that provides a unique opportunity for doctoral and postdoctoral trainees to engage in valuable and rigorous scientific discourse with international peers in the myelin field. In addition to an established keynote speaker with mentoring expertise, the program includes myelin-focused oral and poster presentations of pre-published novel and cutting-edge research by junior scientists as well as interactive discussion amongst peers. This GRS also provides a unique platform to build scientific networks, engage in peer mentoring, and benefit from a special panel session focused on career development for early-stage researchers.
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 March 24, 2026. Please check back for updates.
