Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Myogenesis is an opportunity for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience present and exchange new data and ideas in an open and welcoming environment.

This interdisciplinary seminar will cover on a wide range of topics in the field of myogenesis, including muscle specification, evolutionary diversity and stem cell regulation as well as new advances in analysis and treatment of muscle diseases, immune modulation and aging processes.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Myogenesis" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). 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.
